Whilst doing research on my family tree (and for a new talk ‘Who do you think I am?’), my sister supplied ‘lost’ details of my father’s Army service in the Second World War.
Photographs of him with the 8th Army in the desert of North Africa (1942 – 43) and in Italy (1944 – 45) have now been donated to the Essex Yeomanry website – see http://www.essex-yeomanry.org.uk/history/picture-gallery-1921-to-1969.html
Gunner Charles Williams served in tanks with the Royal Artillery and with the 519th (Essex Yeomanry) Battery, 104th Royal Horse Artillery in the latter part of the War.
