L/Cpl. John Alcock . British Army 2nd Battalion Coldstream Guards from Goole My father John Alcock was sent to a place near Wakefield after Dunkirk where the 2 Battalion the Coldstream Guards were being reformed and regrouped. My mother who lived on a farm near Goole cycled all the way to Wakefield to see him. She was able to speak to him through a wire fence.
After landing at Dover after Dunkirk he spent one night in a warehouse on the docks. He told that men were screaming and shouting in their sleep.
Dad took part in the last battalion sized parachute drop in 1956 at Suez. He was their RSM and he dropped on bonfire night. He had joined the 2 SAS after the Battle of Longstop Hill in North Africa. In 1945 he was awarded the Croix de Gueure after he and his four man team blew up a German troop train near Benestroff in Alsace Lorraine. He escaped by passing into the American third army front lines. He did this by capturing one of their front line outpost.

SSM. John Alcock CdeG.. British Army 2nd Regiment Special Air Service from Goole, Yorkshire In 1943 my father, SSM Jack Alcock of 2nd Special Air Service Regiment landed at Taranto after crossing the med from Algiers. After landing his 22 man unit pushed ahead of the parachute regiment to secure a cross roads in the town and then they moved further to secure the airfield.
Whilst patrolling he literally bumped into a German soldier in a farmyard who fired first. He missed so my father let rip with his Bren Gun which nearly cut the man in half. The German paratrooper had been looting and attempting to carry a chicken which hampered his reactions and aim.
