John Michael Coyle
British Army Kings Liverpool Regiment
My Dad, John Coyle, was born in London in 1922 but was raised in Liverpool. He served in the Second World War but never shared any memories with any of his children.
He together with Mum and then 6 children (I was the third eldest and eldest boy) migrated to Australia where we lived in Blaxland in the Blue Mountains outside Sydney. We have family photos of Dad in army uniform on the wall of our house but with no identifier as to regiment etc. I have now found a family photo taken in about 1960 and Dad is wearing a blazer with the Kings Liverpool Regiment horse emblem on the pocket. This emblem on his blazer is the first clue I have found. Nobody (none of us 8 kids) knows anything of Dad's wartime history except he told us that he was honorably discharged due to health reasons but not sure when.
