Frank and Brian.\u00a0 He also had a sister, Joan.\u00a0 When World War Two came, Peter was recruited into the Suffolk Regiment, probably on reaching the age of 18 in 1943.\u00a0 After training in the UK, he went across to France, but when the war ended, he was retained and posted to Palestine, peace keeping in the unrest caused by the creation Israel.<\/p><p>His older brother Frank, named after his father, ran his own market gardening and florist business at Greenwood Farm, Mickfield, near Stowmarket in Suffolk.\u00a0 After the war, Peter was probably living and working here and he used the

1945-48.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5dc7bc56\"
