WO1 Walter William Frederick Willis

British Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

from:Stepney, London.

My dear Dad, Walter Willis, arrived in Bombay in August 1943 as part of the newly formed R.E.M.E. and became a vehicle mechanic and a driver mechanic. He was eventually sent to Ceylon (Colombo and Trincomalee). He always liked to tell the story of driving on his own through a monsoon from the south of the island to the north, on his 21st birthday (poor dad!).

He was eventually made a Warrant Officer Class 1. After the war he was sent to Singapore and was eventually demobbed in 1946.
