Bmbdr. Alfred Staples
British Army 69th Medium Regiment Royal Artillery
from:Wartling Rd., Eastbourne
Granddad, Alfred Staples, enlisted in 1939 and was sent to France on 1st of September 1939 and returned from France 9th May 1940. He was moved around the UK before going to Egypt on 21st of September 1942. It appears he was injured on 24th of November 1943 and transferred to Stalag 374 POW camp where he remained until 19th January 1945. I am not sure after that, but he was released to the reserves in 1946.
