Pte. Edward Harold George "Goog" Westley
British Army
from:Teddington, Middlesex
My brother, Edward Westley joined up, against my parents wishes, before his eighteenth birthday in 1939. After going to France into the
War, like thousands of men, came back over the Channel from Dunkirk. He was on a large tug boat called the Gracie Fields after the singer, when it got a direct hit by a bomb. Many were killed but my brother survived but was very badly injured. I wish I could find more info about this.nIf anyone can help I would appreciate it very much.
