Pte. George Kindon
British Army 5th Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment
from:Kings Road, Birmingham
My Granddad was in the South Staffordshire Regiment from 1940 to 1946.
He never spoke too much about his time served until his latter years. Looking at his army records he spent a far bit of time in detention for being AWOL. It might have been something to do with the American GI's being barracked not far from where my nan lived (Pheasey). I do know that he had a bad time in Arnham as he was one of hundreds being dropped in by gliders. He was held up in a church, I think, being looked after by a young girl, name of Tula who was with the Dutch Resistance.
