Capt. Willoughby Hugh "Le Doc" Cartwright

British Army 72nd Light Anti-Aircaft Regiment Royal Artillery

from:Ilminster, Somerset

Willoughby =Cartwright served with 72nd Light Anti-Aircaft Regiment, Royal Artillery There's not much to tell, as he never said much except he would swim in the sea off Algeria, and sketched or painted in his spare time. He had a revolver he brought back with him but surrendered on an amnesty by his wife. He did say one day that they were instructed to break camp and move. Just as well he said, as it was bombed the next day, suggesting a decoded message from Bletchley Park. He was in Italy treating those poisoned by mustard gas in February 1944 without being told what had happened to those suffering. He himself was convalescing at that time, so was probably affected.
