Hi Guy's, I wonder if you could help? I'm putting a small tribute to my father on the family website...... My dad is 86 and has never mentioned the war much until recently. We have seen his medals from the war and one in particular: A Tank! He was a Churchill Crocodile Flamethrower Tank Driver. He has talked to my older brother in dribs and drabs. The topics have been about Northumberland where he was stationed. And a Canadian regiment.... as far as I can gather he was there with this regiment when they liberated Belson?? He won't discuss what he saw or did but loves it when he comes to visit and I show him the tanks on the internet. I'm trying to get some photo's off of him and find out more about what exactly his regiment did do in the war! (Mainly for his grand children) I hope someone can help Tanks in advance ha ha Cheekyman (Frank)
Hi cheekyman. Welcome on this fine forum. Don't hesitate to ask questions in our information request section. Please tell your dad thank you for his service. You can also make him read our answers so he'll know many people here are grateful to those from the "Great generation" and that the surviving Veterans are not forgotten. We have many UK members here too who will gladly tell you how you can request your dad's military records.
