Gnr. Frank William Jennings
British Army 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery
from:Cardiff
Frank Jennings joined the British Army before the outbreak of WW2. He served with the Royal Horse Artillery, I believe, in the 1st Regiment.
He was posted to France and evacuated at the Battle of Dunkirk. He was then posted to the Middle East and was blown up whilst operating a 25 pounder field gun at the battle of Sidi Rezegh, I believe.
He survived although sustaining wounds that meant he was repatriated and demobbed. He loved the Army although he spoke very litle of his experiences, I believe they scarred him physically and mentally. He was my dad.
