FrontlineAntiques Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi Chaps My Grandma's other half unfortunately passed on quite recently after a long illness. Helping her to sort out his things and pass items on to his family she gave me a couple of photos. I had known that he had served in the British Navy in WWII and had seen a fair bit of excitement in various theatres, but I found the photos very evocative and really want to know some more. Frank Wilkinson was a leading stoker and was present at D-Day as a landing craft pilot. I know that he was awarded the burma star with pacific bar (although he always said he never desrved either pacific or burma as he "had just sailed past"). He was also in Africa/Egypt. His medals were pinched years ago in a burgulary The photo of his landing craft below gives us the number T7016. This is all I know about his service Where do I start? Many thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
