Sgt. Desmond Stuart Oliver . British Army Welch Regiment from Ystradgynlais My father, Desmond Oliver signed up at 17 in 1942 and served with the Welsh Regiment in Greece and Palestine until 1946/47. After basic training, he was assigned to REME. He may have also been involved in raids on radar installations in Norway.
He had four girls so war stories were not deemed appropriate and as a result, I know little else other than that his best friends who survived the actual war were killed in Palestine. I only recollect the name, Demsey, who I assume is Terrance Demsey from Ireland who was killed at that point. He was devastated especially after three years of combat.
If anyone can help fill in the gaps it would truly be appreciated.
Diolwch y'n fawr..... my cymraeg is rusty so pls forgive any errors.

Pte. Edward Oliver . British Army 2/5th Btn. Leicestershire Regiment from East London (d.17th Jan 1944) I know very little about my father, Edward Oliver, I was just two years old when he was killed at Monte Cassino. My mother found it very hard to talk about him and remained a war widow for fifty five years. I have often wondered why he was in the Tigers as he always lived in the East end of London and, as I understand, never went to Leicester at all.
My family and I have visited Cassino several times and are members of the Monte Cassino society. We were shocked to see that, at the age of 29, he was one of the oldest men in the cemetery.

Rfm. John Gerald Oliver . Army 9th Btn. B Coy. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. (d.26th Sep 1944) My great uncle John Oliver was killed in fighting near the railway lines in the village of Best, Holland, on 26th September 1944, we believe he was a member of B Coy. He is mentioned on the memorial in the village and buried at Bergen-Op-Zoom in Belgium, having been moved from the initial site of burial at the American cemetery at Zon. Shortly after his death his parents received a visit from a (supposed) member of the regiment who claimed to have been friends with John. This person told them about what happened the day of John's death. They gave this man a significant sum of money as he was experiencing hardship. It wasn't until 2001, when a Dutch gentleman researching the history of Best contacted us, that we learned the true circumstances of the action that day. The War Office had told the family John died in France, his Roll of Honour entry still gives incorrect details of place of birth.
