I was with the artillery guns, driving the machines about. From 1939-1946 I was in North Africa and Italy. I suffered a leg injury and burns to my head during one of the invasions. One time my wife received news that I was 'missing in action' because my tunic had been found. I was still out there fighting in North Africa.
