Looking for a former RWF circa 1940

Hi.

O.K. got that (free BMD)Sept Q 1937 Married. Mary E Beggleton. North Western Surrey area.

ivor

Funny it didn't say when he left the other regiment now I come to think of it. I wonder if that is accessible before I pay the mod £30 for service records.

Yeah that's the right marriage!

Hi again.
another possible long shot.
Looking on 'Forces War Records' i find an entry for a 1440820 a Lance Sgt in 1942, but no unit. But the name is Clifford W Bonnett.however knowing the possibilities of Transcription errors and the similarity between hand written 'o' and 'e' this could be a possibility. But the No does not fit the E Surrey sequence. any ideas ???

My advice Gregg. Pay the £30 and get his service record from the MOD. It will tell you exactly where he fought, his medal entitlement and other stuff. It's the definitive record and unlike many, you now have the details to allow you to obtain it.

Ok my great aunt (his daughter) is going to apply to the MOD. We're pretty sure the first record is him as she says he was stationed after Dunkirk in Richmond park and he was in the East Surrey Regiment. Easier if I just copy and paste actually "When he was in the East Surrey Regiment he was stationed in Richmond Park, they had a very large camp which as the story goes was completely hidden from any enemy air attack as it was so well hidden amongst the trees. The East Surrey Regiment barracks was in Kings Road, Kingston upon Thames"

Lets assume the other one might not be him as I have found a marriage in 1941

NAME:	Clifford W Bonnett
SPOUSE:	Mitchell
MARRIAGE:	Sep 1941 - Pontypridd, Glamorgan

Thanks again for your help!
