263511 Pte. William Norman "Bungy" Smith British Army Pioneer Corps from:Walsall, West Midlands I know my Dad, William Smith was a Pioneer when he kept telling me about his pick, shovel and rifle.
He told us when we were kids that he used to collected Italian and German POWs from some port or other and on one occasion delivered them somewhere in Scotland probably Dundee.
I do not know of his Service Number or what Company he was in.
He was "Army Barmy" as they say and he saw service in TA units until well in his late 50's.
He was a proud man when in uniform.
He died in July 1981
I am his eldest son and served in Royal Marines 12 years RAOC, (V) & Regular Army RAOC 1969 - 1985, Wessex NRPS 1985 -1992.
