Sidney b:23/10/1911 d:9/5/1997
Wife: Vera Dover b:15/2/1915 married 6/1939. The 1939 census does not have a record of him but there is a closed entry between his wife and his mother in law which I cannot put a name too yet.
He served in India, North West Passage and I have found 1 reference in the Military Campaign Medals for 1933-5 Reg No. 4612295 - 2nd Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment but this does not give any family backgound information so I am not 100% sure that this is him because the family story goes he lied about his age.
He also served with the British Expeditionary Force in France and was part of the rear guard in the Dunkirk evacuation, he was on the the very last troopship to leave france in 1940 and he was discharged around 10/1940.
I would love to know if there are any records out there for him.
