230686 Pte. George Edward Wilson British Army 107th Rgt. Royal Armoured Corps George Edward Wilson was my dad, and he died on 26th September 1981 of a brain tumour. I know next to nothing about his army career. I do remember sitting on his knee saying, "Tell me about the war dad". He started to tell me he drove tanks, then my mum told him to shut up about it when it started to get a bit, shall we say, gory.
It was only a few years ago that my uncle (dad's brother) told me he had been in the D-day landings and, he thinks, the Desert Rats. I had no idea.
