An old friend (And he is old)
joined the Artillery in 1937 as a boy soldier and when war broke out
he lied about his age and joined the Essex Regiment and fought in
all the major battles including Burma. In 1951 he was called
up again and was posted to the Glocestershire Regiment and
sent to Korea. He was serious wounded at the battle of Injim
River and was sent home.
