Sgt. George Andrew Frederick Ryles

British Army Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders

from:Inverness

My grandfather George Ryles enlisted in Inverness on 8th November 1937; he served for nine years and fought in Sicily and Egypt. We have an old bloodstained leather wallet from Egypt and plenty of pictures, but he never spoke of his combat experience in El Alamein or anywhere else. He was shot in the right elbow and left hand in Sicily. He had other wounds too, but I am unaware of how he recived them. A darker time of his service was when he went M.I.A for a period of time, which he never spoke about. I heard that a trench collapsed in on him and some other men, and with him being claustrophobic I am not surprised he never mentioned this. If anybody has any information about people who served with or may have known him we would like to hear your story.
