264629 Pte. David Joseph Race British Army Duke of Wellingtons (West Riding) Regiment from:Leeming Bar, Yorkshire Joe Race joined The Duke of Wellington's Regiment in late 1943 at the age of 31. He was a Bren Gunner in the above regiment at the Battle of Anzio but transferred to The Kings Shropshire Light Infantry during the campaign. I believe the transfer was due to KSLI suffering heavy casualties and transfers were from other regiments to raise numbers. Joe was wounded in both arms on 24th of February 1944 during the Anzio Battle. He was transferred to Hospital in Algeria before being repatriated to the UK by hospital ship and invalided out of Service.
