Records of Tpr Milsom (WWII)
Sometimes we are contacted by family members who wish to share the stories of their relatives who were part of the Regiment as it stood in WWII. Here is an interesting snippet from a Robert Milsom about his grandfather who served with the WDs. At some point we would like to formulate a database to aid others in finding more information about their relatives or the comrades that they fought with.
For now we will leave it here to hopefully pick up again soon !
Please find attached some photos which I found long after his death. He never spoke about the war and I surmise he worked in the rear echelon servicing the tanks .We know he was in Italy and Austria for certain. My late brother told me he had been in Normandy but cant be sure..His home regiment was the Gloucestershire Hussars but as you can see from his record of service card he was in many regiments throughout the war. In the photos he is wearing the cap-badge of the Westminster Dragoons which may be of interest to add to your collection. To identify him in the photos he is the one at the back with his arms folded and no cap in the threesome with I think maybe a Leyland Retriever behind them. Also centre of the picture group with the radio again with his arms folded. And with the bent arm next to the vehicle with 53 on it. Will send in another message photo of his service card list all the regiments he served with. Regards Robert
