What does it say at the top of the document, Singspeed? If there is a name I will do some lookups, see if I can find out more about this chap. It looks like he was called George A Cowell and he was from Coventry, is that right?
ETA He died in 2002 - this is from the Coventry Evening Telegraph, June 9th 2002:
"THE Warwickshire Royal British Legion's silver jubilee service and parade will be held next Sunday.
The service will be in St Mary's Church, Warwick, at 2pm and admission is by ticket only - all of which have been issued.
There will be 50 RBL and ex-service standards and three bands leading the parade which will follow the service at 3pm.
.........
CONDOLENCES to the family of George Cowell, a former standard bearer for the Burma Star Association.
A guard of honour of our standard bearers branch will attend his funeral on Thursday at Canley Crematorium."
A search of death records shows that he was called George Ambrose Cowell, was born on 3rd Nov 1916 and died in 2002. He had sisters called Laurel (b. 1920, d. 1920) and Amy (b. 1921).
