John Lees . British Army Sherwood Foresters from Parwich, Derbyshire John Lees lived in Parwich, Derbyshire and served in the Second World War with the Sherwood Foresters and was on one of the last ships to leave Dunkirk. He was a very quiet man and we did not know he was on one of the last boats until the vicar told us at his funeral.
I do not know his date of birth but his birthday was in April. I am his daughter-in-law and would love to have his war records for my son who is the last of the Lees name and now lives in the USA.
I would be so grateful for any information Thank you.

Gnr. Russell Telford Lees . British Army Royal Artillery (d.29th Dec 1943) I am researching my family tree and have found out that Russell Lees was my real grandfather on my father's side. Gunner R.T Lees died in India on the 29/12/1943 when my father was just 2 months old. Subsequently my father changed his name to Gander after his step-father. I have found out through the Commonwealth War Graves Commission that Russell Lees is buried in the War Cemetery in Chittagong, India. He is also listed on the War Memorial in Campsey Ashe in Suffolk. Unfortunately, that is the sum total of my knowledge. I would like to find out more about him but I do not know where to start. If anyone has any advice on where I can find out more (cause of death, service records, photos etc) then I would most grateful. Thank you.
