    I watched both of your videos on YouTube and you have done an excellent job. What battery/regiment did your great uncle George serve with in North Africa?

    Thanks Dick for your kind comment, I'm not sure of the battery but he was with 1st Regiment when he was killed at El Alemien (first battle). I'm sure he won the M.M for his actions under heavy fire during Oct & Nov 1941.
    Regards
