Cpl. Ronald Ridgley

British Army 5th Btn. Royal Berkshire Regiment

from:High Wycombe

C Coy, 7th Somerset Light Infantry 1945

My father Ron Ridgley was with the 5th Royal Berkshire Regiment on Juno beach on D Day. After the fall of Caen, he was sent as reinforcement to 7th Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry. He took over an anti tank platoon in S Company and stayed with that team until VE Day, in Bevensen, Germany. As an anti tank platoon was no longer needed, they were disbanded and he joined C Company.

He was demobbed in February 1946 and lived to celebrate his 100th birthday.
