Cpl. John Barnes
British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Norfolk Regiment
I am researching my late Grandfather Jack Barnes no 3770890. I know that he served in The Royal Norfolk Regiment and I also know that at the end of the war he was stationed in Rawalpindi, India for a short time. He never really spoke about his time at the war and sadly I was probably too young to understand and ask him questions.
I have just been passed some wonderful photos of him during the war and am trying to piece them together. From what he said he spent a lot of time in Africa and also spoke of Italy too. I think I have photos from all 3 locations. In the photos he is with other Regiments and it looks like their camp. They show him being promoted from Private to Lance Corporal to Corporal. He always has the Brittainia badge on his beret.
I am interested in anyone that could have known him or that can help me piece together
