Sgt. James Cuningham Nelson
British Army
from:Whitehaven
Sadly my father, James Nelson died when I was young and did not talk about the war. I know he was in the Desert Rats until he got burnt when his tank was hit. He was then in the tanks on D-Day and was one of the first to hit the beaches. What regiment he was in I do not know and would love to find more about him and his experiencs. I have no pictures of him from the war time, but have not been through my mum's personal effects yet after she died a couple of years ago.
