Hi I am desparately trying to find information on my late father Walter John Keir Mitchell 1924. Mother Elizabeth Keir Father John Mitchell. All from Scotland. My father served in the Royal Signals WWII he was mentioned in despatches and awarded the oak leaf medal. Since his death I have been told he served on Operation Market Garden in Monte Casino. He was also involved in the d day landings. He went to Heriots high school. was married to Elizabeth Paton 1937.My father was a very quiet man and never really spoke of his war days and unfortunately he died suddenly in 2001 and along with him took all his stories. Could you please lead me in the right direction of finding anything out about his war days or anything about his family. Thank you. |

If he was a Captain you should be able to find details of his commission on the London Gazette site. |

Barry - It does look as though you might be in luck as Pamela seems to be still around but she may not be keeping an eye on this thread after all this time. |
