My dad was Dickie Thompson served in the 8th South Lancashire Regiment and 8th Survey Regiment Royal Artillery. He was in WWII and started training somewhere in Suffolk, l think, where he shot rabbits with his officer. He saw service in North Africa and Italy. He told me he was a driver and a forward observation post observer. He was very shy about talking of the war.
