208835 Pte. Edward "Chalky" White British Army Dorsetshire Regiment from:Kilburn My father, Edward White joined the Dorsetshire Regiment in 1936. He went to India in September 1937 and served there until June 1939. He was then posted to Malta in June 1939 and was there until November 1943. In that time he met my mother. They were married in 1941. His witnesses at the wedding were Lance Corporal Charles Edwards and Private Carl Wilson. Sadly, he became ill in 1943 and was transferred to the UK and I understand he spent some time in hospital. My mother and two very young sisters travelled from Malta to be with him. They lived in London for about four years and then returned to settle in Malta sometime after 1947. I was born in Malta in the late 50's. My father didn’t speak much about the war and I was very young when he died in 1967. I would appreciate any contact from anyone who served with him.
