231125 Cpl. James Church British Army 5th Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment from:Colin Ave, Hull My father, James Church, joined the TA in the Thirties, he went to France as part of the BEF to France and returned via Dunkirk. He served in the Western Desert with the 4th Battalion, East Yorks and was wounded at Wadi Akarit. He narrowly escaped in the Gazala Gallop after first picking up his younger brother, Pte Victor Church. He was transferred to the 5th Battalion after the demise of the 4th at Gazala. His active war ended after being wounded again at, I believe, Catania in Sicily and was medically downgraded and returned to Richmond as a Sergeant to train recruits for D-Day. He remained there until demobilisation after VE Day. His Brother-in Law was CSM Arthur Savage of (I think) the 5th Battalion, killed in N. Africa.
