Sgt. William Francis Owen Lowe

British Army 5th Btn. Royal Berkshire Regiment

from:Guernsey

Bill Lowe (our dad) joined up along with the Guernsey militia (Territorials) in 1939. He was allocated to the 5th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment. He landed with the Canadians in Normandy at Bernieres sur Mer. His cousin George Lowe also joined up.

After the war dad returned home to Guernsey and continued with his trade as a mechanic becoming service manager at Bougourd Bros. We were very proud when, along with other Channel Islanders, he was awarded a citation from the French Department of Basse Normandie. Dad died in 1999, but won't be forgotten. We have visited Bernieres Sur Mer, and also the new Canadian museum and memorial at Juno beach.
