Hi
I'm trying to find out more about my fathers time in WW2. Like most he never really spoke about it and I have no real idea other than I think he was in France and Italy. He was wounded on 7/1/45 and medically discharged.
I have his Service Cert but it says very little other than dates and letters some are confusing given the date he was wounded.

Details are: John Barrett
Division and No: EX/5380 (T)
He enlisted 15th April 1940
He lived in Glasgow and died in 1982 after a long illness.

Exams:
May 41 Armourer C1. III GP B
May 42 Fitter (Gun) Group a Class III

MNBDO 15th April 1940 - 30th April 41
HBL MNBDO (2) May 41 - Mar 44
HBL 5 RMAA Bde 27 Mar 44- 6th June 45
PDL RMTTD 7 June 45 - 1 Aug 45 (this is crossed out with physically unfit for Royal Marine Service.

I would love to know more about where he was he anyone can help at all please reply.
Thanks
