209272 Ralph Atkinson British Army Royal Engineers My grandfather's name was Ralph Atkinson. He served with the Royal Engineers in the 2nd World War, Bomb Disposal. I do not know a great deal about my Grandfather, other than he died in 1944-45 of wounds whilst lifting a bomb from its crater. The tripod gave way, and the chain lifting the bomb, ripped through his leg, he later died of his wounds. He originally came from Newcastle. He is buried in the Kingsthorpe Cemetery, Northampton. I would dearly like to know more about my Grandfather. This is all I know about him.
