241398 "Lonia" Leonidas British Army This is information gleaned from my mother and father's marriage certificate dated 5th June 1946. My father is identified as CY/19627 Cadet (E1424) 14th Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment stationed at Wrothham Camp, Maidstone, Kent.
I know from anecdotal history that he served in North Africa and Italy during the war and was a Cadet in officer's Candidate School graduating as a 2nd Lieutenant at which time he met and married my mother in 1946. He subsequently served in the Cyprus Regiment after the war, serving in Cyprus and Palestine.
