from:Acton, West London.
Ted Hayward signed up on his 21st birthday, 1st of Aug 1940.
He was a civil servant before enlistment. During his service he acted as a Storeman, Post Corporal and Dispatch Rider.
I understand he was awarded the Africa Star, the 1939-45 Star and the Defence Medal.
The testimonial on his release form reads
"Cpl E.C Hayward overseas about 4 1/3 years has been a Storeman also employed as Post Corporal. A Steady reliable N.C.O who has carried on his duties efficiently, possesses control, is quick thinking and is self reliant. He has done well."
