Hi

I am looking for more detailed information on John Douglas Coleman for his daughter who is still living.

Anything will help.

Have you tried also posting on WW2talk.com, there is a chap on there who is very knowledgable about SOE and no doubt will be able to help

Maybe a long shot but the National Archives have records of former R.N.V.R members, i believe he was a former member before going over to SOE?

Another one is this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Coleman although he is not down as John Douglas Coleman........apologies if I'm off on the wrong foot??



Regards,

David

Hi David

Thanks for the extra info. Your link to wiki is interesting as the code name "Victor" for this Jean Henri is the same as the one for John Douglas on this site. Now, the question is which name is correct, are they the same person?

I hope to get the SOE service records for John Douglas Coleman from the National Archives soon.

Watch this space.

Cheers
David
