229342 John B. Turner British Army Leicestershire Rgt. from:Worksop Does anyone know my dad John B Turner? He served in Palestine and Crete as a regular and during WWII. He had a brother Albert in the Leicestershires as well. He was a year younger. Albert died age 23 in 1942. Dad was a year older but lied about his age. He told everyone he was born in 1919 but it was 1920. He told us stories of a dog called Siren who heard enemy planes before the men did. He was wounded and sent to Clatterbridge Hospital in the Wirral, Cheshire. He met my mum, Jean Langley, who was a nurse there. They married in 1944. Dad was from Worksop in Nottinghamshire but stayed in the Wirral until his death in 1991.
