Pte. Frederick Stanley Carpenter
British Army Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Warwickshire
I don't know a lot other than my Dad, Frederick Carpenter (born in 1920) had joined the army in 1939 and was sent to France and was stationed along the Belgium border, I remember him saying he was either a gunner or field gunner. He did not talk a lot about it but when he did I would certainly listen. He had a scar over his right eye which he always said was when his helmet was hit by shrapnel of some kind and the helmet edge gashed his forehead. I do know he was one of the last off the beaches because my mother feared the worst and had not heard from my dad till the last days of the Dunkirk Rescue. He finally showed up at her doorstep and afterwards was relocated to Scotland for a while. he was later with the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers.
If there is anyone who could add more info or tell me who else is in the picture, I am interested.
