I am compiling my family tree and am trying to trace the whereabouts of a William Smith.

He resided at Victoria Avenue, Southend on Sea in 1945. Mr Smith was a Red Cap in the Military Police in 1945 and was stationed in Leicester. His Army No. was 2019453. Although Mr Smith would possibly be in his early 80's now (if he is still alive) I would be glad to receive any information pertaining to this gentleman from whatever source.

I first became aware of Mr Smith's connection with my family some 18 months ago so if there is anyone out there who might know of him, his whereabouts, or indeed his death, I would dearly like to hear from them.
