Firstly, apologies if this topic is in the wrong section. I am new to the forum so please bare with me.
I am a huge WWII buff and have long been fascinated by both of my grandfather's involvement. However for all of their medals and memorabilia that I possess I have nothing to indicate with whom they actually fought with. My dad's dad passed away when I was little and I have very little to go on, other than his medals. He was awarded the 1939-1945 Star, the Italy Star, Africa Star, and the War Medal 1939-1945. I also have his Soldier's Service Book, which states he was a Lt. Cpl in R.E.M.E (I have no idea what that means).
I count myself incredibly fortunate that I was able to talk to my mum's dad just before he died (we live in Canada now, even my mum didn't get to see him before he passed away). I was enthralled by the stories that he shared with me. His medals are still in England with my nan, but based on what he told me, I know that he fought in Africa against Rommel, spent time in France, and, most crucial of all, was part of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, which would lead me to believe he was a part of the 11th Armored Division (I also recall a story of him delivering tanks when he didn't even know how to drive).
Both of my granddads are from Sheffield, Yorkshire. If anybody could shed any light I would be eternally grateful. I apologize for not having much to go on, I can try and drum up some more information if need be.
Thank you all.
