Stanley Bedford

Stun, Stanley Bedford was my grandfather's youngest brother. At the outbreak of WW2 he worked as a clerk in the offices of the GLC (remember that?). He joined the Royal Signals as a Dispatch Rider (DR) and served with the 11th Line of Communication Signals in North Africa during Operation Torch. Stan was killed on 17th of December 1942. The circumstances are as yet undiscovered. His grave lies in the Bone Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Annaba, Algeria.

His wife Rosa had a son Donald, whom he never saw. Shortly after the war she emigrated to Canada. He was the son of Thomas and Ada Bedford, my great-grandparents.
