(d.25th May 1940)

Bill Gorringe serving with Kings Royal Rifle Corp (Green Jackets). Burma 1935

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.

Cpl. William Gorringe, KRRC
