He served bravely in Malta, North Africa,Middle East, NW Europe where he survived the D Day landings and helped as a stretcher bearer then was wounded in action on 11th july 1944 at Caen, France. He was a proud member of the regimental band, and boxing team, died 25th August.1968 A soldier to the end. May I thank medical staff at Radcliffe Hospital Oxford for saving his life, especially a Sister Browning. Missed every day, your loving daughter Patricia x |

I never got to meet my grandad as he died five years before my birth. I have looked at his photos and medals and feel very proud of him. |
