I am now 58 years of age. Can any one or any organization kindly help me trace the picture of my father who fought in world war 2 in the 81st division (west Africa) at the Burma front. I have grown-up not ever seen his picture as a soldier because, as he told me, some of his properties were stolen. He was lucky to have kept his Burma star and some colorful ribbons with his junior sister. And that is all I have of him. His name is Halilu Gwadabawa, Hausa by tribe from Northern Nigeria. He was recruited in to the army in Gusau-Northern Nigeria. The spelling of his surname may be "Gadabawa". He once told me that they were shipped from Lagos sea port in Nigeria. And that they traveled for days and nights before they reached Burma. Please help me (and my children/grand children) to update my father/their grand father and great grand father's history by tracing his records and posting his picture to me. My e-mail is tanimuhalilu84@gmail.com. Thank You.
