My Dad served in North Africa and Italy his name was William Henry Barber. He was in the 44th Recce Regiment. He won the Military Medal on the 5th October 1944 when, on a patrol, he shot and killed two Germans and also helped bring back several prisoners despite being badly wounded in the leg himself.
If anyone remembers my Dad, Bill, please write in. Dad passed away in September 2000 and is sadly missed by all of his family.
