Sgt. Edwin John Hawkins
British Army 8th Army

We were told by family that my grandfather, Edwin John Hawkins, was a Sgt in the Army and that he took part in the WWII campaigns in Italy and Northern Africa. It was said he drove for Monty for a short while. Was this the Eighth army? I would really like to go ahead and apply for his Army Records but do not feel that I have enough information to do this. I would really appreciate some help if anyone has any knowledge of these campaigns.
