Gnr. Charles Hamilton
British Army 15th IOM Light Anti Air craft Unit Royal Artillery
from:Castlederg, Northern Ireland
(d.11th Oct 1944)
We have very little information about Charles, we have his service records he joined the Army in Omagh December 1924 with the Ulster Rifles and records say he served in the UK until February 1927 and then he was posted to India until 1933 not quite sure what he was doing between 1933 and 1939 but joined the IOM 15th LAA Unit in 1939 it would appear he served in various units and had quite a eventful army career !
The War Daries for October 1944 put the unit in the Uden area in Holland he is buried at the War Graves Cemetary in Uden would love to hear from anybody whom may have served in the regiment or any info would be great.
Charles Hamilton was my uncle we visit Uden every May for the Memorial Service which is organised by the Uden War Graves Foundation
