Hi Marion,
I checked the three Walter Ferrari's and they are not him. I found out what a rigger 189 was doing according to a few people at the WW2 event in Chantilly over the weekend.
Here is the discharge paper. Any help here would be great.
I also sent a formal request to the Archives.
Please see attached
Thank you sincerely
