Like many he chose not to talk much of his time in the Army so we have very limited information. Thanks

He was wounded on the 21st July 1943 in Sicily during the capture of the Ponte dei Malati Bridge (No 3 Commando Bridge).
He was fortunate enough to recover from his injuries and passed away in 1999.
