Hya, Linda here,
This is my first post so if I do anything wrong, let me know!
I have a very dear friend who I'd like to help. His father died when he was quite young and he would like to know about his war years.
The details he has given me are:
Harold Lloyd
Gunner: 1761115. : R.A.
previously a coal miner.
D.O.B. 23.09.1913
On his marriage certificate his residence is listed as:
Cambridge and his wife was also there (obivously lol) working as an Aircraft Frame Repairer. His home address was listed as Curry Street, Ebbw Vale?
I know this isn't a Staffordshire question but it's a start for me!
Various family members have told him that his father was in Italy, was a dispatch rider, was in an anti-aircraft regiment, at Bergen Belsen, at the D-Day beaches, had 3 or 4 medals and no one has any evidence!
He has given me a photo which shows him wearing brades but the picture is in sepia!
Any advice, suggestions etc would be very much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Linda
