C/Sgt Stanley John "Stan" Hall
British Army S. P section,HQ A.L.F.S.E.A. British General Headquarters (I)
S.J. Hall's possessions were thrown in a skip by the care home when Mrs Hall passed away 2013. I was told there were some post cards of tribal people in the skip. So I knocked and asked the staff if I could remove them, they said I could take anything. I found Mr Hall's soldiers service and pay book and lots of documents and photos and old format negatives. The later turned out to be of the Kyber Pass and other mountain passes. Also tribal recognition photos, roads and tracks, also photos of him in uniform, one jokely coloured in. The negatives have not been processed but I am so glad all this wasn't lost and perhaps more memories of brave soldiers. Can be re kindled, does anyone know what his S.P Section etc was?
Did he know a Brigadier Ralf Frink ?
Before and after the war he was a head master but loved teaching art, that I do know, but what he did his release docs say his work with the Research team the S.P directorate has been a great factor techniques in military uses? Not sure what that means tho?
