Thanks for the welcome,i know that my Dads brother died on D Day whilst landing with the 2nd Devons.My old man did;nt have much to say about his or anyones service,he did mention his brother did 2/3 landings??
Hi Willywills There's a name to conjure with Welcome aboard and good luck with your research Cheers Ron
Paul - some of the numbers of the 2nd Devons - i.e. 144 - 145 - 146 are really scary as mine - and Ron's numbers started with 143 as joining in 1942 - not too long for them to learn their craft before death...so young ! Cheers
Welcome to the site. If he died on D Day, you should find him here: unit005 Thanks Paul,i had found him on that site Frederick Arthur Wills,it was his service prior to that,I;ve not found out much at all,i seem to remember my dad saying his unit had done 3 landings.Ron willywills is my old nick name from my time in the mob,i;ll say no moreThanks for the welcome all,i hope to learn alot here.
