Pte. John Donavon Powis
British Army Royal Army Ordnance Corps
from:Ashton under Lyne
John Powis is my maternal grandfather who my mother never met as he disappeared in the 1950's. He served in the Army from 1943 and served in Italy during the WWII before being discharged in 1948 (because of medical reasons). If any relatives know of John (who changed his name from O'Leary Capel in 1944 for unknown reasons) his former family hope he had a good life after he disappeared and found happiness.
