Cpl. William Joseph Blaymires
Royal Marines
from:Elswick Grove, Birmingham
I was told William Blaymires, who served with the Royal Marines in WW2, went in to France on D Day minus 2 and came back plus 2. He later served on many ships including the air craft carrier Indomitable. He was originally in 255 S.S. Squad at Chatham.
He was in Burma and there was a long story about getting lost escorting General Slim's doctor. He was put in for a special award but it was never processed. William later became an RSM in the Canadian Armoured Corps. I have many war photos.
