Sgt. John Francis Stapleton .     British Army 73rd Anti Tank Regiment Royal Artillery   from Tarorley

(d.7th Dec 1941)

John Stapleton was the eldest of two sons born to Charles and Jessie Mary Stapleton. He was educated in Guernsey where he learned to speak fluent French. He was an army cadet. After school he returned home and became a clerk. He married Anne Butler, the sister of his very good school friend, in 1934.

John was a member of the TA before the war and so was called up very early for service. He initially was stationed at Bowmere Camp in Tarporley where he trained new recruits. His wife and children remained in his native Liverpool but with the prospect of heavy bombing there he arranged for them to be billeted in Tarporley as evacuees. The family never returned to Liverpool and John's son, also John, resides in Tarporley still.

A few months after the family arrived in the village John was sent to North Africa and he was killed in action on 7th of December 1941. One of his men wrote to the family to say that he had run into enemy fire to bring back another man who had fallen. He is remembered on the El Alamein Monument at Matruh, Egypt.

Celebrate your own Family History

Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Secomd World War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc.

Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.














The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items.

The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.
