Hi Gill,
I have been through the army records and can't find any records for Robert J Hitchcock, they must have been destroyed in the 40s during the bombing......surprisingly there are no pension records also....with him being wounded in action there usualy is.....looks like the only course of action is to contact the regiment giving them his army number and see what they have.......sorry I couldn't find anything else...........Paul
