S/Sgt. William Noel Skellett
British Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers
from:Collyweston, Northamptonshire
My grand-uncle Staff Sergeant William Skellett of the REME died in Hamburg on 19th March 1947 apparently after contracting a disease during the reconstruction of the city. He is buried in the British Army Cemetery there. I know his service number, rank, service arm and have a few photos but that is all of the information I have. I would love to know Bill's story - the units he served with and where. I imagine that he would have been in the army for some years in order to achieve the rank of Staff Sergeant and there must be so much that I don't know.
If anyone remembers Bill or is able to suggest any sources for research into the REME during WW2 I would love to hear from you.
