Pte. William Arthur Marston

British Army 2nd Btn. North Staffordshire Regiment

from:Willenhall, West Midlands

My Granddad Bill Marston, served originally in the East Surrey Regiment before being transferred over too the 2nd Battalion of the North Staffordshires. He was a Bren Gunner. I was told he had been shot a couple of times in action and on the one occasion blown up by a land mine, he had been left for dead until his comrade turned his knife on the medical orderly and demanded they take him, luckily he survived. He went on to serve in Palestine and was demobbed in 1947 or 48.

If anybody knows any veterans who may of known him or had mentioned him it would be nice to know.
