Sgt.Mjr. James Henry Bridges
British Army Durham Light Infantry
from:Kibblesworth, Gateshead
My grandfather, James Henry Bridges, known as 'Harry', born in 1906 in Richmond, Yorkshire but migrated when still young to the Kibblesworth, Gateshead area.
He was, from what I can remember, in the Durham Light Infantry and I know he was in the military prior to the Second World War. I can remember tales of India and Africa.
I'm trying to find some information on my grandfather I have no way of tracing his army records or even what medals he had (they were stolen in 1983). I would be pleased if anyone has any information about him.
