Edward Patrick Joseph Wilson
British Army 2nd Btn. Welch Regiment
from:5 Dratonia Cottages, Grande Roque, Guernsey
My father Edward Wilson married a Guernsey girl in 1937 and was called up to the Somerset Light Infantry in 1940.
I am not sure what he did between 1940 and 1944 but I know he spent some time near Weston Supermare in Somerset and also did a parachute training course with the Aimy Air Corps.
He spent 1944 and 1945 in Burma and although there are numerous stories that he could tell, I have two small diaries that he kept whilst in Burma.
