Hi My Grandfathers name was William Henry Foxcroft and he was born 11th July 1915 in Liverpool, England and served in the British Army. I don't know about the regiment(s) he was in but he moved around a bit, I've been told he started in the Kings Regiment, which is feasible since it was based in Liverpool!!. I have a picture of him in uniform taken in France, on the arm is 'Pegasus' and I have been told he was in the 6th Airborne at that time. My father has told me that he saw action in Norway at one point, attacking something to do with Radar???. That's about all I have, he didn't talk of the war - but then I don't expect I'd want to either.
