218481 Pte. Harry Edward "Titch" Bennett British Army Oxford & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry from:Banbury I'm trying to find out about my Grandad Harry Bennett,as with most we got snippets. We know he was in the Oxford & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry which we were told by him the fastest regiment in the British army and he trained in Scotland. We also know for reasons unknown he went to Bermuda (where he saw his first banana) and travelled by train in USA up to Canada before getting on a ship to UK. He also met by a fluke his older brother being shipped out of a harbour(injured) as his unit landed. When he was asked what did you say to your brother, Harry replied "alright" had a fag and nothing else. We also have a snippet that they gave kids some chocolate in Germany as they looked starving. If anyone could tell me what unit he was in or any other info I would be very grateful.
