Sig. Frances Freeman Whiteman
British Army Royal Signal Corps
from:Ringstead
My father Frances Whiteman served as a Signalman during the Second World war. His service took him to India and into Burma with the second Chindit Campaign. I remember him talking of queuing for inoculations with the Nigerians of the Third West African brigade and of the Gurkhas who were great people, but thought it was funny to creep up on the Brits on guard in the jungle and just whisper 'Hello Johnny' in their ear. Towards the end of the war he was posted to the Southern India Monitor Station. I would like to hear from anyone who could add more detail to these thin threads.
