Alfred Clark 2nd Northamptonshire Regiment
My father, Alfred Clark, was in the 2nd Northamptonshire Regiment and was captured at Arras in 1940. He was then sent to Stalag V111B for the rest of the war. Was anybody in the same regiment in Arras who could tell me how they were captured?
Bombardier Gunner Edward Richard Thomas Harris
My uncle, Tom Harris, was a regular in the Royal Artillery served in MEF and was transferred to Infantry served with 2 Btn Northants in NW Europe. He went missing two days after VE day and his body was found in Jan 1946 (believed murdered by Polish displaced persons.) Any information about his service would be appreciated particularly in the RA.
Pte. Randolph Parker 1st Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment (d.14th June 1944)
I am trying to find as much information as I can on my Uncle Randolph Parker. He was killed in action in Burma on 14th June 1944. My Dad tells me that they were notified he had been injured, however the information I have been given so far is that there was no known body, therefore no grave. However he is remembered at the Rangoon war memorial. Also I only have one photo of my Uncle, is there by chance anyone out there got any photos that they could share with me?
