Spr. Jean "Frenchy" Bestel
British Army Royal Engineers
from:Mauritius
My late grandfather Jean Bestel was in the Royal Engineers in WW2. We have his Certificate of Service but don't know much else. His Regiment number was 1928556. He'd talk about North Africa and Italy and mentioned transferring to the Free French forces (he was Franco-Mauritian).
