Hi Garry, I'm down in Tauranga! Do you think it could be Sligo Belfast? I had one of my mine in the Royal Irish Constabulary and he was stationed at one time in Sligo Belfast but was born in Loughgall Armagh. Guess you are battling the strong winds too?

To those who have replied so far. I have for years been searching, with no results, Seagoe as I thought Sigo may have been written phonetically. I have considered Sligo but people I have shown the Army Discharge papers to have ruled that out. The second page is actually clearer than the first and very plainly reads Ligo. Walt's suggestion is very feasible. Any other suggestions? No Carole, the winds aren't that troublesome where I am albeit I am surrounded by high buildings; much cooler than last week though.
