Pte. George Edward Wilson 107th Rgt. Royal Armoured Corps George Edward Wilson was my dad, and he died on 26th September 1981 of a brain tumour. I know next to nothing about his army career. I do remember sitting on his knee saying, "Tell me about the war dad". He started to tell me he drove tanks, then my mum told him to shut up about it when it started to get a bit, shall we say, gory.
It was only a few years ago that my uncle (dad's brother) told me he had been in the D-day landings and, he thinks, the Desert Rats. I had no idea.

Norman Stokes 107th Tank Regiment, B company Royal Armoured Corps My Grandfather, Norman Stokes was a tank driver of "Babbler" a Churchill Mk VII, in B company of the 107th Regiment of the 34th Tank Brigade.
He joined up in about 1943 after being kicked out in '39 for lying about his age. He participated throughout Normandy, and amongst other things;
He dropped the tank down an open quarry during night manoeuvers, had the footplate of his driving position blown off by a mine (along with that side track) and was shot at by the Americans when they mistook the Churchill for a German tank. He has always has said he ran over more German soldiers than he shot and was banned from boxing in the army for life when someone cut in the meal line. This is just one hundredth of the stories I've been told over the years, but that's another story. He was a real inspiration to me, and probably the greatest person I know.
