Donald Yates
British Army Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards)
from:Stoke on Trent
Donald Yates, my grandpa, was in the Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards). He served in the 8th Army (Desert Rats) during WW2. He survived the war and became the proud father of 4 sons, Donald Anthony, Philip Howard (my dad), William Roy and Nigel Stewart Yates.
I am thankful to have had 14 years with my grandpa, and hear his stories about the war, but sadly he passed away in 1985.
