York and Lancaster Regiment, number 5631088.
Eric Buckmaster of 5 troop recalls "John's father was a Brigadier, and he offered to arrange a Commission for him. However John wanted to make his own way, and elected to join the ranks with us. He was towards the end badly wounded in the shoulder by a bazooka shell, which fortunately did not explode. Post War we understood that he had gone to Rhodesia with his mother."]]> en-us Gallery 2 RSS Module, version 1.1.8 Mon, 08 Jun 2026 01:43:26 +0100 120 https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/d/8585-16/John+Carpenter.jpg <![CDATA[Pte.
