Drvr. Charles Baxter
British Army 141st Regiment Royal Armoured Corps
from:Norwich
I never really had any contact with my father as he was divorced from my mum when I was three. She much later told a story about my dad driving his tank down a street in Canterbury (Notley Street?) and cracking up both pavements. He narrowly escaped court martial as D-Day was looming. His close mate was Jack Clarke and my father's name was Charles Baxter of Norwich in Norfolk, UK.
I don't know much more about him and wonder if he is known in any records or memories. I am now in my mid seventies and would love to tell my great grandchilden something of their great great grandad. Any help would be very much appreciated.
