HORACE'S ARMY HISTORY.

On 5th August 1943 Harry was called up to join the 'Grenadier Guards' at Caterham in Surry. After training he was then posted to the 3rd Battalion who were  then in Italy. He sailed to Italy disembarking in Naples. On 28th March 1944 the Grenadiers advanced on Cassino and then the 'Monastry' at the top of the mountain. Horace first saw action at Monte Peschiena 15th September 1944 and was involved, in the most appalling weather, in the advance to a fight for Monte Batteqka on the 11th October. Horace returned home on the 19th August 1945.

On 30th April 2020 he received a letter from Buckingham Palace, at the time of the 75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe, thanking him for his determination and dedicated service in WW2. A much deserved award.
