Hi I am trying to trace Peter Laurence Holland born in Fife Scotland in May 1920. I know he was a captain in the army, was married to someone called Vicki or Veronica although I can find no trace of the marriage. There was a child, I think called Yvette. I believe he was away with the army when the child was born and the wife died in or shortly after childbirth. The child was then adopted by his brother. I don't know if there was more than one brother, ther was a brother callled 'bumps', and I know he later visited with a brother who had moved to Ramsgate Kent.Maybe they were the same.I have a feeling that I remember him saying he was brought up in a 'home'. I know he had nursing Qualifications and was the Chief male nurse at Glasgows Southern General Hospital.He was living in Dumbarton Scotland until 1957 when he moved to London. I know of his life after he came to London. I am interested in his life and family before 1957
