211526 2nd Lt. Robert G. Burnett British Army Norfolk from:Monmouth Wales Robert Burnett was my grandfather who died before I was born (1948). He served in the Norfolk Regiment as I have his British War Medal "squeak" and Allied Victory Medal "Wilfred" in my keeping. My father, Lionel Lesley Burnett, who died a few years ago told me that he had fought in France and Egypt and that he had returned to the UK on the same boat as Lawrence of Arabia who he had kept in touch with. I was born in Oxford, UK and my grandfather lived in Monmouth, Wales where he was the Bank Manager. Anymore about the war I don't know but would appreciate it if anybody who served with him or their relatives have any information.
