Mjr. Wilfred Richard "Snowy" Eccles
British Army Royal Army Ordnance Corps
from:Little Hulton, Manchester
Wilfred Eccles served with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, he fought in Dunkirk and traveled north through France. I know very little of my father's service history, perhaps because I was born so late in his life (when he was 56). However, I do have a fantastic picture of him as manager of the football squad, the Wanderers that played in Beruit in April 1944 vs the Syria and Lebanon Service, and lost 13-1. Details of the players and their pre war football clubs are written on the back.
