Trpr. Bernard Edward Mead

British Army HQ Squadron, 1st Army Tank Bgde Royal Tank Regiment

from:Dartford

My father Bernard Mead enlisted on the 18th of April 1940. He served in North Africa and Europe, he was involved in the Siege of Tobruk; in 1979 he was sent the unofficial Tobruk Siege 1941 Medal (as a then member of the Rats of Tobruk Association, London Area Branch). Other medals that help to mark out his army service are the 1939-45 Star; the Africa Star; the France and Germany Star; The Defence Medal and War Medal.

I have several photographs which feature North African locations. These include Rafa, El Adem, Sidi Bishar, Sollum Hill, Petra, the road to Akaba, Siniai, Nuseirat, Sphinx, Sidi Aziz, and Sollum.

He suffered with poor health and at some point in his army service was hospitalized back to the UK. During the last months of the war he was posted to Germany; working as part of the Military Government of Germany.
