Sgt. Dennis Harvey Newton

British Army Royal Engineers

I am trying to find information about my grandfather. He was in the British Army and his name was Dennis Harvey Newton…… maybe? Or Dennis Newton or possibly Robert Nunn. Supposed to be a Sergeant in the Royal Engineers during the 2nd World War. He lived near Farnborough. I have had no luck so far. I have never met my grandfather. Apparently he was not called up for WW2 as he was already a professional soldier.

More info sent to me by a military enthusiast:

He is definitely wearing the cap badge of the Royal Engineers. The crown on the badge indicates that the photo was taken during the reign of King George VI; therefore, the photo was taken after 1945 but before 1953. Unfortunately, the ribbons are the common WW2 campaign ribbons plus the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal ribbon. This last indicates that he had served at least 18 years in the Army when the medal was issued. Many thousands of men would have had this combination of ribbons. I can see no indication of his rank. He looks to be in his late thirties or early forties.

Does anyone remember him?
