205903 Sgt. Richard Rolfe British Army Ox & Bucks Light Infantry Hi, I am attempting to trace some history of my Uncle Richard 'Dick' Rolfe.
Here's the tricky part, I don't know that much to be going on with and what I do know may not be exactly correct.
The family history goes as told by my Dad (now suffering from Alzheimers, so difficult to confirm) was that Dick was in the Ox Bucks Light Infantry and then drafted into the 6th Airborne. I thought I was told that he was in the initial glider assault on Pegasus Bridge under Major Howard, but any research I have attempted has drawn a blank. Another family member seems to think he was in the parachute support at the bridge after the gliders had landed and taken the bridge.
After the war, I believe my uncle lived in Royston, Herts, and sadly passed away some years ago. I wish I had found out more, but I was only a child.
Has anyone any ideas of where to try next or any information on Dick himself? Many thanks in advance.
