Pte. Peter Graham "Darkie" Ehrlich
British Army Royal West Kent Regiment
from:Gosport
Dad, Peter Ehrlich started with the Hampshire Regiment and was then transferred to the Royal West Kent Regiment. He saw service in North Africa, Italy (including Monte Cassino) Greece and then the Middle East.
I would love to find out more about my father's war time service. He spoke very little of it until nearing the end of his life. I have tried many avenues to find out accurate information to no avail. I have his army service records but the dates stated do not tie up at all. I believe from what he said that he could have been involved with the Longe Range Desert Group and carried out behind the lines missions. At the beginning of his Army life he was sent to Winterbourne for training of some sort. I also believe he was sent on a PE Instructors course, but why this would happen during the war when fit young men were needed to fight? On leaving the army his papers said he was a Stretcher Bearer. I cant see how this was so as he had never mentioned that he did this. Would the MOD lie on service records to cover up Secret Stuff? Does anyone know??
