256597 Pte. Charles William Timmins Royal Marines 2nd Royal Marine Btn. from:Derby I know nothing of the service life of my Grandad, Bill Timmin I have only recently found out that he was a Royal Marine. I do know that later in the war he was shot and wounded but eventually made a full recovery. He subsequently became a Steward at various clubs in the Derby area, met his wife Ethel, and had two daughters Patricia (my mother) and Margaret. In the late 1940's he owned and ran the New Inn pub at Pen St., Boston, Lincs before selling and retiring in the early 1960s. Growing up, we lived next door to him and I spent hours in his company. What fantastic great memories. We would go fishing, walking and generally enjoy a very happy time together.
