Spr. George Richard Woods
British Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers
from:West Hyde, Hertfordshire
George Woods served with the 8th Army in North Africa 1941-45. He was posted with a sergeant to follow the Army line going forward, in a repair lorry, and fix any broken down vehicles the Army left behind. These would be picked up by the Army line following. He was once attacked by a German aircraft and blown out of his lorry. Thought he had sustained a small cut on his inner arm but a small piece of shell fragment was removed later in Alexandria.
Around three years after demobilisation was offered a fast-track commission if he decided to re-join but turned the offer down.
