QMS. Harry Cawthorne "Smiler" Birdsall

British Army 2nd Battalion Green Howards

from:Pontefract

My grandfather Harry Birdsall was posted to Burma in October 1944 and sailed two days after his wedding in early November. He fought around the Sandoway and Ramree Island areas before landing in India after the Japanese surrendered. He stayed in India until the end of 1946 helping with the Independence riots. Before he left, he stayed at Mountbatten's home for the week as a thank you for his service.
