Sgt. Frank William Hill
British Army Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
from:Wood Green, London
Dad, Frank Hill, never talked about his experiences during WW2. When he died in 2003 he left me all his army records. He enlisted at Tottenham on 26th of July 1940 and was posted to the Yorkshire Light Infantry where he stayed until 9th of March 1943 when he joined the Royal Signals. He was demobbed at Reading on 26th September 1946.
I know he was in Burma, Hong Kong and Bombay at some stage as I've found photographs of all three. I'd love to know more about where he was posted and what he faced. The only story he would tell was being home on leave at Alexander Palace in North London watching the skyline "the night they bombed the docks".
