Wilfred Hurrell . Royal Navy HMS Revenge It is my understanding from my late father, Stanley Hurrell, that
Wilfred and my father's other brother Phillip Hurrell served on HMS
Revenge during WW2. I believe Wilfred died at sea during the War, I
presume, whilst on this ship, but can find no record of this nor any
details of crew members of HMS Revenge during WW2.
My other uncle Philip and my father Stanley are both deceased, so I
don't have much to go on other than a photo of Wilfred and Philip in
sailors uniform wearing caps that bear the HMS Revenge name.
If anyone is able to help I would appreciate it as I am trying to piece
together this part of my family history.

Sgt. James Munro Hurson . Royal Air Force 83 Squadron from Barnet (d.23rd June 1943) My father James Hurson died before I was born, so I never knew him. My mother was six months pregnant. I have his letters he wrote to her and other mementos.
The RAF paid for my education in London. I went on to become a nurse and
emigrated to the U.S.

Fus. Terence "Sonny" Hurst . British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Northumberland Fusiliers from Littleborough My grandfather, Terence Hurst, was a fusilier in the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, 2nd battalion. My grandfather wasn't with the Battalion at Dunkirk. I believe he joined them as they went to Tunisia in July 1943. He then went to Italy in 1944, then on to Greece in 1945. My grandfather is now deceased but was a great man who always talked of his time with the Battalion with pride. While in Italy in Capri, he told a story of Gracie Fields putting on a performance for them. She asked if any soldiers were from Rochdale, my Grandad spoke up, and Gracie claimed all men from Littleborough (near Rochdale) were as good looking as my Grandad, this was his favourite tale to tell anyone(can't imagine why?).
It would be great to hear from anybody who knew my Grandad, or even just any details about the 2nd Battalion, as I am trying to write down all details to pass on to my children. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

His best friend was Harry Green, who was killed in the desert near Tunis, around 1943. Dad died 15 years ago and seldom spoke about his experiences. He was also friends with a chap named Ted Chute. Any information would be helpful.

Joseph Alexander Hurt . British Army 5th Btn. Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry from London Joseph was with the DCLI. He was injured in some way early in the war and spent some time in hospital having burns and shrapnel in his back, it led to the loss of his hearing also. By the time he returned to the fighting there were very few people left from those he originally served with. He moved through France and the low countries and on into Germany where he appears to have remained after the war's end. He was stationed in Hamburg at one point and we have photos of him boxing at the 43rd Wessex Divison army boxing championships when his team were the winners.
I would be grateful if anyone who knows of him or any mention of him could let me know.

His name was Joe Hurt. He was promoted first L/Cpl then Cpl before being discharged on 27 December 1946. He was also a member of the Battalion Boxing Team who won a championship whilst in Germany with 43rd Wessex, BOAR.

Richard N. Huston . United States Army from Wyoming My uncle Richard Huston was taken prisoner at the Battle of the Bulge and transferred to Stalag IV B. He was held there until the Russians liberated them. He never talked much about his time there, except to say that he had been wounded in the neck and there was a doctor that helped him by washing the wound with water and putting a piece of brown paper on it to keep it covered and clean. I believe he said the doctor was from England.
