His Admiralty Award Slip shows that this is his complete group although a written note by his son suggests he may have been posted to Burma. Perkins married in 1945 and his son Roger was born at 16 Ide Lane, Alphington in 1946. Perkins died on 9 June 1978 with probate giving his address as 7 Raglans, Alphington; sold together with original Admiralty Award Slip, copied photographs of the recipient in uniform and copied notes relating to his life.
