Pte Albert "Chunky" Hall MM
Army 2/4 Btn Royal Hampshire Regt
from:Aldershot
Albert Hall was my grandad. Luckily he survived the war so I got to know him and do have very fond memories of him.
Like most soldiers he did not talk about the horrors he saw. He was decorated with the MM for his bravery in rescuing others whilst he himself was wounded. If only I had had the opportunity to ask him more questions about his wartime memories then I could have told you more. I do recall him having the nickname 'Chunky' because he was caught stealing pineapples when he was so hungry and away fighting the war. He drove an ambulance and rescued a lot of other soldiers - I have seen some of those photos etc that he sent home to my grandmother.
