Cpl William Lake MiD.
British Army 102 HQ Sub Area Beach Signals Royal Signals
William Lake took part in the D Day landings at Juno Beach alongside Canadian Troops. There is a famous picture of Winston Churchill and General Montgomery on Juno Beach in June 1944 and my father, William Lake, is clearly seen between the two. He was in Brussels the day the city was liberated. On 22nd Mar 1945 he was Mentioned in Dispatches. We believe it was something to do with preparations to cross the Rhine but unsure exactly where. We know that at some point after this he was in Hamburg. Before he enlisted he was a member of the Home Guard.
