Hiya,

My great uncle Bernard Henry Burton died this week. He never spoke about his time in the army during the war. But I'm rather curious as to what he did. I've tried to search but with no great success. I know very little about where and with who he served. But I'm gonna put out here what I know and hope some wonderful person out here can help me. I know Bernard was a royal marine. I have a photo of him in the jacket with an Italy Star and other ww2 medals. He mentioned Italy, Cyprus, D-Day. He said he served on HMS Glenroy and HMS Nelson. His son remembers him mentioning royal marine sea service battery. I know all this info is very limited but I hope someone can help me. I have a holiday planned to the Normandy area in sept and would like to pay my respects in a approiate place.
