Pte. John Alfred Scearce
British Army Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry
from:Southall
I know very little. I wished I had asked him more about his time during the war. For a while he was a medical orderly during his time in India before travelling down to Egypt, where he was part of the 8th Army. My father would tell me stories of being part of a gun crew on 25 pounders. How this came about when he was enlisted in the light infantry I'm not sure.
John Scearce was captured while on the Greek island of Leros. His POW record has him listed as belonging to the King's Own Royal Regiment, something he never mentioned.
