W/Sgt. David Brown 11th Air Formation Signals Royal Signals David Brown served with the Royal Signals. Craig Brown Add to this record. Henry Campbell (d.24th August 1946) Henry Campbell from Glasgow served with Fitzroy McLean in the Royal Corps of Signals and died in Naples 24th August 1946. I am looking for information about him as a gift for my uncle's mother's 94th birthday (Campbell's sister). She is interested in why he was mentioned in dispatches. Hugh Sharkey Add to this record. Sgm Allan Dewsnap Royal Signals Corps My father, Sgm Allan Dewsnap 2586904 Royal Signals Corp, was a survivor of the sinking of the Lancastria, along with other Glossop soldiers, Thomas O. Booth (still alive), Leonard Dicks (still alive), Corporal William Bamforth (deceased), James Alfred Drabble (drowned on the ship). I have spoken to Tom Booth and Len Dicks many times about the sinking. Tom always carries a photograph of the ship going down and at the stern in the water are six figures – Tom says that one is himself and the others are Len Dicks and my father. Unfortunately I can't remember who the other three are. Nor can I remember the newspaper that carried the article and photo. Tom is not very well at the moment so I will have to wait awhile to see him. This morning I received my father's Lancastria Commemorative Medal and a very nice letter from the First Minister of Scotland the Rt Hon Alex Salmond MSP. I will keep it with my father's other campaign medals. Michael Dewsnap Add to this record. Sgt. John Falkingham Royal Corps of Signals Does anyone have any information on John Falkingham who was born in 1915? He may have been a journalist and served in the TA before WW2. He was a Sergeant in 1944 when he was a patient at Addenbrooke Hospital 1943/44. He recovered and went to France in April/May 1944 and "never came back." Whether that means he was killed in action or never contacted the reporter again, I do not know. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. Gwen Walker Add to this record. Ronald Walter "Wally" Walton Royal Corps of Signals My father, Ronald Walter "Wally" Walton was in the Royal Corp of Signals. His hometown was Norwich, in Norfolk, England. He was captured in North Africa (Libya) in 1941 and imprisoned in Italy until 1943. He was then moved to Stalag 4B until the end of the war. He didn't tell us much about his experiences, but we know he taught electronics in the camp. If anyone knew my dad I would appreciate hearing from you. Sadly, he passed away in 1996, he was 78. Jim Walton Add to this record. Ernest Lidster Royal Signals (d.1999) My father, Ernest Lidster, was a signal man in the Royal Signals. He was captured by the Germans on the 4/6/1940 at Lille, and he spent the rest of the war at Stalag 8B which I understand later became camp 344. He worked in the mines. He didn't speak much about his time there and when he did he got very upset, it had a very bad effect on him. He died in 1999 aged 80. Does anyone remember him, I am trying to find out as much as I can and it would be nice to speak to any one who knew him. Jennifer Timms Add to this record. Corporal Frank Ernest Mayle III Brigade 2 Signals Regiment / 9 Gurkha Regiment I am researching the life and times of my late father-in-law. He was sent to Burma in 1943 or 1944 and joined the Chindits. He may have been a Corporal or an NCO with 2 Signals Regiment. He may have been part of the 111 Brigade and 9 Gurkha Regiment commanded by Brigadier J. Morris, landing during March 1944 at Chowringhee. I know of 3 other Corporals who may have been with him at the time: G Ewens, J.E. Kirke and H.M. Jones. Can anyone help me retrace his steps during those horrible times in Burma fighting a Japanese soldiers who would rather die than surrender ? Gilbert Viegas Add to this record. John Edward Eastman Royal Signals I am trying to find out about my late father John Edward Eastman who served in the Royal Corp Signals during the last war in Sudan/Cairo/Egypt. He was presumed dead for not sending any letters/correspondence for around 6 months. He may have had a breakdown! I would like to know more (if possible) about what he did, where he was and what he did. He never spoke about the war to me. John Eastman Add to this record. Sig. Stanley F. "Stun" Bedford 11th LofC Coy. Royal Signals (d.17th Dec 1942) Stun, Stanley Bedford was my grandfather's youngest brother. At the outbreak of WW2 he worked as a clerk in the offices of the GLC (remember that?). He joined the Royal Signals as a Dispatch Rider (DR) and served with the 11th Line of Communication Signals in North Africa during Operation Torch. Stan was killed on 17th of December 1942. The circumstances are as yet undiscovered. His grave lies in the Bone Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Annaba, Algeria. His wife Rosa had a son Donald, whom he never saw. Shortly after the war she emigrated to Canada. He was the son of Thomas and Ada Bedford, my great-grandparents. Mick O'Gorman Add to this record. Cpl. John Whelan 14th Indiab Division Royal Corps of Signals John Whelan's Sign up papers were sent on 20th of June 1941 and were signed at his medical examination on 26the of June 1941 at Birmingham Medical Board No. 5. His actual date of enlistment is given as 3rd of Sep 1942 and length of service is duration. His occupation on enlistment was given as telephonist. He was assigned to the General Service Corps Primary Training Corps No 7 at Military Operations, Ossett, Yorkshire. At Ossett, John had a dental examination on 10th Sep 1942 and was pronounced fit though 2 of his teeth are shown as missing, presumably in the incident when he fell off a tram. A Territorial Army Record of Service paper was also completed which gave his next of kin as his Mother, Margaret Whelan of 13 Gough Road, Birmingham 15 and detailed identification features – height 5ft 6 ¾", weight 112 lbs, eyes blue, hair light brown, chest measurement when fully expanded 34 ¼" with range of expansion 4”. Distinctive marks were a scar on left eyebrow and on the back of left hand. On 1942-10-14, he was assigned to the Royal Corps of Signals at the rank of Private Signalman and was posted to 3 Survey Training Centre, Kirkheaton, Huddersfield. On 6th of January 1943 he is reported as passing Trade Test OWL (Operator Wireless and Line) GP E and mustered in that trade. On 29th of Jan 1943, John was posted to 8 Corps Signals still in Huddersfield until 3rd of Feb 1943 when the Corps was posted to 9th Armoured Division Signals with location given only as Field. On 10th of May 1943, he was reclassified as OWL B3 and posted to 47 Division Signals arriving with them on 15th May. At Parkhurst (which may have been on the Isle of Wight), he received a second dental examination on 22nd Nov 1943 and was again pronounced fit. This was followed by a move to 28th Armoured Brigade Signals at Morpeth on 1st of July 1944 before moving down south to Lackford on 8th of September 1944 with 39th Division Signals. It had been 2 years and 60 days since he enlisted. The adventure really began when John embarked for India on 2nd of November 1944 arriving at Bombay on 4th of December 1944 and was posted to Central Command Signals on 29th December 1944 as a Signalman until 7th of January 1945 when he was posted to 14 India Division Signals and based at Mhow India Command. A promotion soon followed to the rank of Unpaid and Paid Acting Lance Corporal on 7th of August 1945 as U/A/L/CPL and P/A/L/CPL which then changed to Unpaid and Paid Acting Corporal U/A/CPL and P/A/CPL on 6th of September 1945. On 15th of November 1945, he passed OWL B and was reclassified in that trade. Another change of rank followed on 2nd of October 1945 when John was made War Corporal (a rank given for the duration of hostilities) and then promoted to Unpaid and Paid Acting Lance Sergeant on 18th of December 1945. This role was abolished in April 1946 so John reverted to War Corporal while retaining the Acting ranks. 31st of March 1946-03-31 saw 14th Division Signals preparing for release. They embarked aboard HMT Orontes and left Bombay on 5th of July 1946 having spent 1 year and 257 days in India. He was released to Z (T) Territorial Army Reserves on 2nd of Octiber 1946 having spent another 78 days in the service of the Army while travelling home. He was then eligible for recall up to the age of 45. A Testimonial was written by Major F Heward on 3rd of June 1946giving Military Conduct as Exemplary and saying:- Cpl Whelan has carried out some excellent work as a Wireless Operator and then as a Section NCO where his duties were largely administrative. He is very efficient and tactful in his dealings with others. He is strongly recommended to any position of trust. Pauline Hogg Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices.
