Hi all, my name is Andy I came across this forum whilst researching my Granddads 'war movements' I got lost for a few days reading previous posts (nothing to do with me granddad' Great Forum guys
Hi there, cheers for the reply I've posted a little bit on the information requests section with regards to his regiments etc He was born in 1920 and enlisted in 1943, Originally from Whitby Yorkshire my family now live in York He has a fantastic tattoo of an Angel spread all across his chest which he had done in Singapore, only thing is, after a heart op when he was stitched up they didn't line it up properly....... Bloody butchers He rarely speaks about his army days, I know he saw some sights because I remember been pretty young and he opened up about finding soldiers in pow camps and the extreme conditions they had been living in etc He recently got his medals re-issued and I plan to have a good chin wag with him before it's too late but I would never want to upset him, My dad told me about all his photos etc been destroyed in a flood and was looking to maybe find some online. I thought I'd do some research on his regiments whilst I was looking...... Now I'm hooked!!!
Here's the thread I started in the info section http://www.ww2f.com/information-requests/26867-where-start.html I don't want the info handed on a plate to me, I would just like to know where to start looking. I have been circulating google all day
Hi Andy -- This is a great place and a great group of people. You will enjoy your time here and I wish you well in your research! I hope you will share it with us. Cheers!
