Britsh Army Coldstream Guards

from:Newcastle upon Tyne

I'm interested in learning more of my Grandfathers exploits during WWII after joining the Coldstream Guards in October 1940. He seems to have been transferred to and from various Battalions within the Coldstream Guards and records state that he worked as a sign writer and despatch rider. He was shot and injured on 1st July 1944 by a German sniper whilst riding a motorcyle, he escaped by riding the vehicle into a corn field.

Sadly my grandfather died before I was born so I of my information comes via my father. I hope someone can help. I have my grandfathers full service history if this would help.
