Pte. George Payne "Brookie" Harrison
British Army Royal Essex Regiment
from:Scunthorpe
My Grandad was George Harrison. He was called up to the Norfolk Regiment in June 1942 when he was released from working on the railways. My mum has told me that the Norfolk regiment was then amalgamated into the Essex Regiment. He was posted to Yorkshire operating search lights, then posted over seas to Belgium pushing the German forces back to Germany. He was demobbed in September 1945.
I unfortunately have no photos of my Grandad during this period. He never claimed his medals, which I have just claimed on his behalf.
