William James Norris
British Army
My grandad's name was William James Norris. I have been given what I believe was his army number 14416415 or 13333515. I was told by my dad that as grandad was under age, he had to leave Acton in London and join up in Leicestershire. I believe he was in the 5th [Battalion?] then joint[?] forces to go to Arnhem. He was captured and wounded. Does anyone remember him or know which camp he was in?
