Cpl. George William Cherry
British Army 4th Btn. D Coy. Royal West Kent Regiment
from:Dagenham
My grandad George Cherry, when I was a toddler was the most amazing person in the world, telling me how he was shot in the leg and the Jap snipers were hiding in the trees and that he drove around Bren Carriers in the war.
Only after the war did I found out he may have been involved in the Battle of Kohima, the Rorke's Drift of the 2nd World War, and every now and then I look through his photos from the war mostly of him enjoying himself during leave.
My grandad is in the middle to the left of the tear on the very top row of his regiment photo. Then in the 2nd photo I believe maybe his company photo, he is in the 2nd from top row on the far right. I would love to know if anyone recognizes anyone in the photos.
