Richard Cracknell
Army East Yorkshire Regiment
from:Hull, East Yorkshire
I am trying to find any info on my grandfather Richard Cracknell. Born in Hull, East Yorkshire, he was married and would have had maybe two sons by then, Richard jnr and Alan. He was amongst one of the first group of troops to land at Normandy on D-Day. He would have been in his late 30's then, no spring chicken!!.
I have no other information other then he was in the army (possibly East Yorks Regiment) My grandad died five years ago in his 90s. He rarely spoke about his service days but I am so proud of him and need to learn more.
Does anyone know where I can obtain the information with the few details I have.
