222148 Pte. Charles Henry Robert Lovegrove British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Norfolk Regiment from:Islington, London My father, Charles Henry Robert Lovegrove, service no. 5767704 enlisted in the Nofolks on 16th July 1923. He served with the 2nd Battalion and was a drummer/bugler in the Battalion Band. He was an infantry man and was in the retreat to Dunkirk and was one of the fortunate members of the Battalion to get to the beach. However, several were killed and he was badly injured there but was fortunate to be brought back to U.K. I was born in 1944 and never knew about his further experiences as he never ever spoke about it but had over twenty operations on his legs that were damaged by shrapnel. Now that WW2 is part of the curriculum in schools his grandchildren and great grandchildren want to know. If anyone can give us some information it would be gratefully received.
