Posted this in another thread and thought my grandad needed to be here.
This is what was so frustrating about my grandfather he wouldn't talk about it much. I know he was a tank driver and was in the British expeditionary force and was evacuated at Dunkirk after a few days waiting on the beach. He then went to Africa and was issued a Sherman which he hated ( about the only thing he told me first hand) and went from Africa to Sicily and on into Italy. He was a career soldier and left the army in 61 as a Sargent. Those are the facts I've gathered buts what's missing is the story's.
Sargent Ted Jewkes I am proud of you.
