As of yesterday, I am now in possession of my Grandfathers War medals, 1939-45 star, France & Germany star and War medal. He was 13114267 Pte. Daniel George Connolly, Pioneer Corps. My question is, how would I go about finding which regiment etc he would have been attached to and where in Germany he would have served? Thanks for any help.
Have you got his Service Records from the MoD ? That will tell you which unit he was in. Ministry of Defence | Contact us | Service Records Enquiries Then once you know that you can look for their war diaries at National Acrhives.
RPC have excellent site - offers help and advice to relatives. Royal Pioneer Corps & Royal Pioneer Association
thanks for your replies, no service record's as yet, but will look into it. Just off to RPC Association!!
