William "Bear" Brown
British Army 8th Army (Desert Rats)

My grandfather was William Brown. He was gunned down on a beach after making it from the landing craft. I know he was in the 8th Army (Desert Rats) and was lost in the desert once and survived. I believe he was from Sheffield, because my father was a Sheffield man. He had a nickname of "Bear Brown" because when upset he would bearhug his opponent into submission.
