George Dorrington
British Army 172 Coy Royal Pioneer Corps
My Dad, George Dorrington, gave me this photograph and I wanted to share it with you. There may be some relatives of the people in the photo that would like to see it.
It was taken in 1942 at Arncot Camp, Bicester. On the back of the photograph he has named the men in it as; Slipper Ellis, Jackie Fisher, Charlie Game, Corporal Girdlestone, Joe Figoff, himself (George Dorrington), Fred Elwood, Harry Fathers. It was Sec 5 (could be S), 172 Coy, AMPC. This may mean something to you but not to me.
My Dad is still alive and aged 91 but I have not been able to get him to talk very much about his experiences of the war, apart from the fact that he was in France and Sicily.
