Rfmn. Alfred John Lucas
British Army Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:Ruislip
My father Alfred John Lucas served the Kings Royal Rifles in North Africa. We have a letter sent to my mother, on tissue paper. According to the letter he left Liverpool, sailed round Cape Horn, which I assume was on his way to Nth Africa.
He became a Prisoner of war, held in camps in Italy. I beieve he was a local celeb in Ruislip having managed to escape on several occasions.
We did have medals for boxing and cycling.
