Cpl. George Sheppard
British Army 10th Btn. Parachute Regiment
from:Horsham
My grandad George Sheppard was in the 2nd Battalion, Royal Sussex Regiment from about 1930 as we have a picture of him in the regiment's boxing team. We have a certificate signed in Khartoum saying he left the Royal Sussex in 1936. We have a photo album with pictures of an earth quake in India in 1934 and pictures from Eygpt.
He re-joined for WW2. We have some medals, his Africa Star, Civil Defence medal and British War medal. Also his Parachute Regiment para wings. Sadly his red beret was lost by my Nan at some point. I know he was based in India and Africa. Unfortunately I know nothing more of where he went during WW2.
