Christopher Leonard "Snowball" Seneviratne
Royal Corps of Signals
from:Leeds
My father, Christopher Seneviratne, was a signalman during WW2. He served in the Middle East from 19/03/1941 to 22/11/1942 and in India from 23/11/1942 to 24/03/1943. His Soldiers Service and Pay Book says he was awarded an Africa Star Medal with an 8th Army clasp. He didn't speak much about his experiences during the war except to tell us that he was one of the 'Desert Rats' and that one of his nicknames was 'Snowball'. I have a collection of photographs taken while he was in North Africa and would like to make contact with anyone who recognises a relative of theirs in any of the photos. He trained at Trowbridge - Special Operators Training Battalion. The will in his passbook was signed by H. Ford, 17 Pitman Avenue, Trowbridge.
