Sig. Charles Ernest "Spud" Williams Royal Signals .jpg)   Charles Williams is my father through adoption when he married my mother, I was then 18 months old. He was nicknamed Spud. I know very little of his part in the war, probably partly due to the fact he lost his younger brother who was in the RAF in 1943.Charles was part of the 8th Army and took part in the Battle of El Alamein and has the Africa Star. He was also in France ahead of the D-Day landings. I did not know he was trained in signals until my recent research. He told us he was a radio operator and knew morse code but that is all we knew while growing up. He did his training in Prestatyn and Rhos on Sea, which I have found out from my recently acquired Army record. On this record it mentions he was in the 30th Romford District Signals, he was given an exemplary conduct record, which was signed by a Major Philpott, initials AW as far as I can make out. Other than that he told us he had met General Montgomery and found him a likeable chap (his words). His medals I believe are now held in Aldershot military museum where his older daughter took them. I would love to know more about his time in the Army or anyone who remembers him.
