British Army Royal Warwickshire Rgt.
I joined the Army in August 1940 with service in the Royal Warwicks, then with the Royal Signals. I did my initial training at Colchester during the bombing raids of the Battle of Britain. My technical training was at Walthamstow during the Blitz and then I went to Huddersfield. There were postings to Kirkburton, Catterick. Overseas postings were to India via Durban, at Mhow, Sialkot, Poona, Abbotobad and Bangalore. I attended a special training course at Agra. There were leave periods in Bombay, Kashmir and Kodaicanal. I was a mechanic in radio and instrumental maintenance. Later, I served six months with the Army of Occupation in Neheim in the Rhur Valley, Germany. Does anyone have any memories of these places at that time?
