L/Cpl. James Edward Draper
British Army 2nd Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:Highbury, London
All I can remember about James Draper is that he joined up and served with the 2nd Battalion, Kings Royal Rifle Corps in WW2. Jim served in France, Belgium, Holland, and ended up in Germany.
They called themselves the "Crazy Spives". You can see the name on the Bren gun carrier in one of the photos. I think it was taken in Belgium.
James died in 2005
