. HI pete. Very Many thanks for the updated information on my Dad William Asquith. My Dad died in 1975 at age 52 Liverpool born and bred. Demobed in 1948. A heart attack. I believe he suffered 'S' mine damage to the top his skull and had a plate inserted. As to whether this relates to the record of the 1944 wound mentioned I don't know. Also he received a bullet wound to the back , of which was still lodged near his spine. His Pay book has written in his own hand ' entitled to two wound stripes.
Interesting about the Albania action. He is pictured on the gallery site at that Lake mentioned in Italy that you have seen.
Other than this I don't know much more of his service record with No2. That main picture of him was signed on the rear 'North Africa' 1944 and was a postcard to his mother in Liverpool ( Mold street liverpool 3(?).
Once again Pete. Many thanks for all the work you have for everyone
Much appreciated.
Terence Asquith.
ps... My mother was in a home in 2017 aged 90. the Old lady next door to her was the daughter of a Naval rating called ' LEECH' that took Commandos ashore at St Nazaire. I belive he was KIA and his body was never found. Sad.
