L/Cpl William Frederick George Salter

British Army Reconnaissance Corps

from:17 Leonard Street, Nelson

William George is my late and great, grandfather whom remains an enigma to me. He died in the April of 2008, when I was a mere six year-old. It pains me now more than ever, as I myself am aspiring to become a historian and his exploits and stories of war interested me beyond imagination as a child; it would be essential for me now.

However, I do know that he served in the East Lancashire Regiment from 16th of October 1939 to 16th of October 1943, and was transferred to the Recce Corps from 17th of October 1943 to 31st of December 1943 and was finally placed into the RAC from the 1st of January 1944 to 14th of May 1946.

I, myself, would love to discover more about my dear Grandad's time in the war.
