207431 Sgt. Robert Garrood British Army 2nd Btn. North Staffordshire from:Dover My Grandfather, Robert Garrood, enlisted in 1943 and served with 2nd Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment after basic training in Canterbury. He remained tight-lipped about his service years, but I do know he served in North Africa and was at Anzio with the USMC, where they took heavy fire upon landing. He was injured and spent some time in a field hospital in Switerland. He suffered from his injuries for the rest of his days, with various pieces of shrapnel rising to the surface every now and again to remind him of the horror. I never saw his medals after he died, and don't know what he would have received. Are any veterans of this action still alive? I would love to make contact with them and talk at length about the campaigns in which they fought.
