254206 Pte. Joseph Charles Skeats British Army 2nd Btn, D Coy Royal Northumberland Fusiliers from:West Ham, London My dad, Joseph Skeats, enlisted for WW2 on 16th of May 1940 at East Ham Town Hall at the age of 25. He was allocated to the Essex Regiment and trained at Colchester and then posted to the 10th Middlesex in 1941 and the to the 2nd Battalion, Royal Northumberland Fusiliers on 7th of June 1943. On 27th of June 1943 he embarked for North Africa and was there from June 1943 until September 1943, then in Italy from September 1943 to December 1944, then in Greece from December 1944 until December 1945. He was transferred to the Army Reserve on 12th of May 1946. I wasn't born until 1953, but I have just recently learnt that he suffered with what is now called PTSD. I don't ever remember my dad talking of the war, he just mentioned the countries that he had been in and how hot it was! But never, ever talked of any battles or fighting. He sadly died in 1971.
