RSM Ernest Ratcliffe
British Army Royal Signals Corps
from:Norfolk
My grandfather served in the Royal Corps of Signals during the war. Ernie was an RSM and was on despatch at El Alamein when his motorbike was hit by a mortar. He was found in a field many hours later by men who thought he was dead. He was lamed in one leg and lost a lung but survived.
