Richard Arthur Broome
British Army 2nd Battalion Leicestershire Regiment
from:Leicester
My grandad, Dick Broome, was in the Leicestershire Tigers 2nd Battalion and fought throughout the second World War. He was involved in the conflicts in North Africa, Sri Lanka/Ceylon and Burma as a Special Forces Chindit.
When I was young he would occasionally share stories from his experiences at war; they were usually desperate tales of struggle and death and I will forever be immensely proud of what he did and somehow survived.
Dick passed away in 2002 and will always be remembered.
