Pte. Thomas Whitecross . British Army 12th Battalion, B Squadron Royal Tank Regiment from Hartlepool I only know about my Uncle Tommy Whitecross through talking to my mum after finding his photograph in my late grandma's photo album.
Little is known about him as he was a very private person who talked very discretely as regards the actions he was involved with during the war.
What we do know is that he was wounded in Italy at some time during 1944 which was reported in the local newspaper The Hartlepool Mail at the time.

Harry Whitehead . War Reserve Police from Manchester My Father,Harry Whitehead was recruited into the police force during World War 2 as a War Reserve Policeman his number was B128 and he served in Manchester fighting fires in the blitz and saving lives. He is dead now but he never received any recognition for his Wartime Service. He worked from Willert Street Police Station and his beat was around Cheetham Hill, which was a big Jewish area. People felt this was why the bombs were concentrated there. I would like to find out if my Father was entitled to an award or medal. It would mean a lot to me and his Grandson.
