Cpl. William Gorringe
British Army 2nd Btn. King's Royal Rifle Corps
from:Stalbridge
(d.25th May 1940)
William Gorringe was my father. He was involved in the Defence of Calais in 1940 and posted missing, believed killed. This was 2 months before my birth, and he and my mother had been married just 9 months. No other information was ever found, in spite of enormous efforts by my mother to contact people who may have been able to help. Bill was a professional soldier, serving for many years in India. It was a life he loved.
