Lt. Ian Menzies Todd
British Army 1st Battalion Black Watch

I am looking for details relating to my father, Ian Todd's service during WW11. Letters I have received and books he has written indicate he served in the 51st Highland Division with the 1st Black Watch. He once told me he was the first person to receive his commission during the African Campaign from General Montgomery. I have very little details and anything anyone could add would be of great help. He also served as Winston Churchill's personal body guard on a number of occasions. He apparently fought at El Alemien but I have very little information. If anyone has any record of his service I would be very grateful. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail.
