140045 Sgt. Edwin Horton Hickman British Army 8th Army Desert Rats. from:10 Walnut Avenue, Birstall, Leicestershire. Ted Horton was my Grandfather, he passed away when I was 18 months old so I didn't have the pleasure of getting to know him. My Grandmother passed away 19 years ago and my father 4 years ago. Neither of them talked much about my Grandfather or his service in the British Army. I would be interested to learn all I can about his service in World War 2. Where it took him too, from where he commenced his basic training and what life would have been like for him and his regiment. I would also love to know what kind of man he was and what his comrades thought of him if any records of this still exist today. Any information no matter how small it may seem would be very helpful to me.
