206516 L/Cpl. Norman Faulks British Army Leicestershire Regiment from:Barwell My father, Norman Faulks, served in the Leicestershire Regiment from 1940 to 1945/6. Initially stationed in North Norfolk, I believe in Holt, under canvas. It may have been that this was considered a suitable area for a German invasion. When this threat ceased around 1942/3 they were moved to Purley in Surrey, and shortly after D-Day they went to France and fought their way through France and the Low Countries to Germany. He mentioned, before he died in 1954, places such as Hilversum and Nymigan. I would welcome any additional information.
