Craftsman Dennis Arthur Turner MID
British Army
from:Somerset
My father, Dennis Turner, was Mentioned in Despatches at the end of his six years in the war. We never knew any details of his gallantry.
Only once, during a subsequent family celebration - when the ale was flowing - was there any reference. But I hardly think it was true that he "crawled into no-mans-land under the guns of Monte Cassino and towed a damage tank backwards to his own lines - just using his teeth" was likely to be a terribly accurate description of what went on at that time in Italy!
Thanks, if anyone can help,
