Pte. John Jackson "Jock" Stirling
British Army 54th Light Anti Aircraft Regiment Royal Artillery
from:Renton, Scotland
John Stirling (my Grand Father) served in the 161st Battery, 54th Anti Aircraft Regiment in WWII. He served in Normandy, Dunkirk, France. He served for 6 years. Surviving a rescue at Dunkirk, boarded a ship which was sunk, he couldn't swim but a fellow soldier grabbed his jumper and pulled him out of the freezing water to safety. He trained in England for the Battle of Britain and later served with B.A.O.R. I have no photos of him.
