L/Cpl. Francis Henry Spence . British Army 995 Field Coy. Royal Engineers from Liverpool My father was a sapper. He joined the South Lancs Regiment (Prince of Wales Volunteers) in 1923, he left in 1935 and joined the Royal Engineers in 1939.
He served in France and in North Africa and I found two letters to my mother from Tunisia. He mentions places he has been starting with Bone where I assume he landed and several other places including Souk Ahras, Tunis and Enfidaville. In one letter he writes that he has learned that his younger brother was within a mile of him and he had not realized. He said 'I can't say that I'm glad he's here. I don't wish anyone here, to me its just a neccessary evil.'
