Edwin Wilkins
British Army Royal Corps of Signals
from:Wokingham
I'm looking for anyone who may of heard of my great-grandfather Edwin Wilkins. I do not have a great deal of information at the moment. He didn't talk much to his children about his time in the war. He was at Catterick Camp near Richmond and his eldest son believes Edwin was caught up in the Dunkirk evacuation. He thinks Edwin was stationed at Enschede, Holland, and then moved across Germany. It is well known in the family that Edwin also served in France and Gibralter at some point. At one point the letters he sent home were addressed from the British Forces Post Office and the British Army in the Rhine. Fortunately he survived the war and returned home to his children.
