      Thank you.

      This is in honour of Driver Corporal Rowland Thompson Marshall, my wife's grandfather. I will do a fuller post on him when I have gathered all the information held by the MOD. Actually the 50th Division and 50th Div Signals War Diary and WW2 History are available on this site so you can more or less follow his army life from embarkation in 1940 through to its tragic end on June 29th 1942.
