Alexander Armstrong
British Army Seaforth Highlanders
from:Glasgow
Alex was my father-in-law. After being wounded at Mersah Matruh, Alex was promoted to Sergeant. On returning to his unit, a brand new lieutenant - his knees still pink - demanded to know where and when Alex had got his stripes. Alex replied "Where you've never seen the sun, sir", and was promptly busted back to Private.
