212817 William "B" Lacey British Army Parachute Regiment from:East London My Grandfather Bill Lacey was 21 when he went to war. I believe he fought in Italy and then Africa. He was injured (shot through the arm while parachuting) and came back to England for a year, then went back to war.
From what I know he never talked about it much, but I remember him staying up and watching war films drinking whiskey and smoking unfiltered Players!
After the war he married his sweetheart (whom he met hop picking in Kent) and had two children.
