Grdsmn. George Edward Tilley
British Army 6th Btn. Grenadier Guards
from:Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester
George Tilley joined the 6th after Salerno, fought at Monte Casino and with the 6th until it was disbanded. Survivors transferred to the 5th Grenadiers to bring it up to strength. Fought with them until they too were disbanded and the survivors were transferred to the 3rd Battalion. Did not see any action with the 3rd and returned to the UK to be re-trained to fight the Japanese. Luckily war ended before they were sent overseas.
