I believe I have at last solved this
 The person was working for the Red Cross, and wearing a Red Cross uniform. http://www.nowpublic.com/world/nowpu...-cross-uniform (this is not the person in question) - but it looks just like the uniform! Last edited by Muggins in Sussex; 15-08-10 at 14:15.

It was possibly an army posting for a civilian war relief job. A lot of the people who got recruited for "secret" wartime work such as Dennis Wheatley were given courtesy army ranks.

Thanks UJ - hadn't thought of that.
The story I was told was very sad. It was that the British Army was so desperate to hand over the care of these children that they would let anyone do it - and some of the voluteers did so with unpleasant motives, with the result that children were abused. These volunteers were quickly sent home, but only after the damage had been done. Last edited by Muggins in Sussex; 16-08-10 at 06:25.

I am afraid that the care of children has always attracted those with ulterior motives. At least in this case the abusers were dismissed...in many other institutions a blind eye was turned. OC

Have you thought of approaching the Red Cross to see what records they may hold of the person?
