I don't know if you've seen his military service record Deno, but according to that he was 5 ft 5 ins in height, had brown hair, blue eyes, fresh complexion, and had 'True Love' tattooed on his left arm.

Just thought it might help you form a picture of him.

thanks Finbar
yes i have got his service details, but i missed the tatoo .. the blue eyes run in the family
