W/Sgt. David Brown 11th Air Formation Signals Royal Signals David Brown served with the Royal Signals. Craig Brown Add to this record. Henry Campbell (d.24th August 1946) Henry Campbell from Glasgow served with Fitzroy McLean in the Royal Corps of Signals and died in Naples 24th August 1946. I am looking for information about him as a gift for my uncle's mother's 94th birthday (Campbell's sister). She is interested in why he was mentioned in dispatches. Hugh Sharkey Add to this record. Sgm Allan Dewsnap Royal Signals Corps My father, Sgm Allan Dewsnap 2586904 Royal Signals Corp, was a survivor of the sinking of the Lancastria, along with other Glossop soldiers, Thomas O. Booth (still alive), Leonard Dicks (still alive), Corporal William Bamforth (deceased), James Alfred Drabble (drowned on the ship). I have spoken to Tom Booth and Len Dicks many times about the sinking. Tom always carries a photograph of the ship going down and at the stern in the water are six figures – Tom says that one is himself and the others are Len Dicks and my father. Unfortunately I can't remember who the other three are. Nor can I remember the newspaper that carried the article and photo. Tom is not very well at the moment so I will have to wait awhile to see him. This morning I received my father's Lancastria Commemorative Medal and a very nice letter from the First Minister of Scotland the Rt Hon Alex Salmond MSP. I will keep it with my father's other campaign medals. Michael Dewsnap Add to this record. Sgt. John Falkingham Royal Corps of Signals Does anyone have any information on John Falkingham who was born in 1915? He may have been a journalist and served in the TA before WW2. He was a Sergeant in 1944 when he was a patient at Addenbrooke Hospital 1943/44. He recovered and went to France in April/May 1944 and "never came back." Whether that means he was killed in action or never contacted the reporter again, I do not know. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. Gwen Walker Add to this record. Ronald Walter "Wally" Walton Royal Corps of Signals My father, Ronald Walter "Wally" Walton was in the Royal Corp of Signals. His hometown was Norwich, in Norfolk, England. He was captured in North Africa (Libya) in 1941 and imprisoned in Italy until 1943. He was then moved to Stalag 4B until the end of the war. He didn't tell us much about his experiences, but we know he taught electronics in the camp. If anyone knew my dad I would appreciate hearing from you. Sadly, he passed away in 1996, he was 78. Jim Walton Add to this record. Ernest Lidster Royal Signals (d.1999) My father, Ernest Lidster, was a signal man in the Royal Signals. He was captured by the Germans on the 4/6/1940 at Lille, and he spent the rest of the war at Stalag 8B which I understand later became camp 344. He worked in the mines. He didn't speak much about his time there and when he did he got very upset, it had a very bad effect on him. He died in 1999 aged 80. Does anyone remember him, I am trying to find out as much as I can and it would be nice to speak to any one who knew him. Jennifer Timms Add to this record. Corporal Frank Ernest Mayle III Brigade 2 Signals Regiment / 9 Gurkha Regiment I am researching the life and times of my late father-in-law. He was sent to Burma in 1943 or 1944 and joined the Chindits. He may have been a Corporal or an NCO with 2 Signals Regiment. He may have been part of the 111 Brigade and 9 Gurkha Regiment commanded by Brigadier J. Morris, landing during March 1944 at Chowringhee. I know of 3 other Corporals who may have been with him at the time: G Ewens, J.E. Kirke and H.M. Jones. Can anyone help me retrace his steps during those horrible times in Burma fighting a Japanese soldiers who would rather die than surrender ? Gilbert Viegas Add to this record. John Edward Eastman Royal Signals I am trying to find out about my late father John Edward Eastman who served in the Royal Corp Signals during the last war in Sudan/Cairo/Egypt. He was presumed dead for not sending any letters/correspondence for around 6 months. He may have had a breakdown! I would like to know more (if possible) about what he did, where he was and what he did. He never spoke about the war to me. John Eastman Add to this record.

John Charles Walker Royal Signals My father, John Walker, sent this picture to my mother after meeting her at Catterick in 1943. I am still trying to read my father's and mother's Military Service records and have identified that her A.T.S. record has: AWL 26th May 1943 Dad told a story of being posted to Vienna, Austria and being ordered to destroy enemy communications equipment. He suggested that some more enterprising individuals in his group had actually buried the said equipment, for likely recovery by people unknown. Dad had always wished to take mum to Vienna, and this was achieved during the mid-1980's, including a visit to an agricultural site where the equipment was thought to be the burial site. The manager of the 1980's site was pleased to meet my father, as the former 1945/46 site manager, who had died during the previous 5 years had often talked of the same story. My father was offered a spade. James Walker Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices.
