I had an uncle who served in a field artillery battery of the british army starting in North Africa to the end of the war.
I had another uncle who served in the Royal Navy. He was on 3 different ships that were torpedoed was on the Ark Royal when she was sunk, and served aboard the Hood (before she met up with the Bismark thank god)
Had another cousin who served as a motorcycle dispatch rider in the 3rd Canadian Inf Div in France before being wounded, thats all I know about.
