Cpl. Harry William Mills
British Army 2nd Btn. Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment
from:Bedford
My Dad, Harry Mills signed up in September 1932 and went off to India - I think with the 1st Battalion of the Beds and Herts - they then went on to Palestine. At the outbreak of WW2 Dad, I believe, transferred to the 2nd Battalion and went off to France and Belgium. He was then part of the BEF that were evacuated at Dunkirk. He then went off to North Africa and Egypt. From there to Italy, Sicily and Greece.
If anyone has any further information as to what the 1st Battalion did between 1932 and the outbreak of the Second World War, and the 2nd Battalion from 1939 to November 1945 I would be extremely grateful.
