Pte. George Geordie Walton
British Army 2nd Btn. Seaforth Highlanders
from:Witton Park, Bishop Auckland
My grandfather George Walton originally started his military service in 1940 with the DLI, but was transferred to the Seaforths after Dunkirk.
I know he served in all theatres after the Dunkirk evacuation: North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, Ardennes, and finally into Germany where he de-mobbed.
He was a dispatch rider by trade, but when he wasn't on the bike he was a Bren Gunner on a Universal Carrier.
He was very close friend with another Seaforth's veteran from Ayr called Jimmy Allen. Can anyone provide more information?
