Cpl. Joseph William Grubb
British Army
from:Shoreditch, London
My Dad, Joseph Grubb said he was a sniper serving in Egypt and other places. He was captured and sent to Stalag 8A. He also told a story of how he saved the lives of some newspaper men who were sightseeing at the front, by shooting down a Messerschmit. I used to have a news clipping of it, he had glued to an old piece of card, but it was lost when I moved and would like to replace it if possible. I think he also did some guard duty at Buckingham Palace.
I would love to know more about his exploits if anyone can help.
