Thread: WWII ERN

Update -

So I received a big folio of documents from the military archives here, pretty amazing amount of info really, but most importantly...

ALBERT HORACE CHADWICK

can be formally introduced as the chap who dutifully carried this razor with him during 3+ years in north africa and Italy.

Albert was 21 when he entered training in 1941, a hairdresser by trade (ironically) and was discharged in 1945 after recieving extensive shrapnel wounds near Rimini on the Italian coast.

He and his razor made it home back then, yet to find out what became of him subsequently.

Regardless, Thanks for everything Albert, I'll look after it for ya mate.

I'm sure that he would appreciate that you've allowed all of us to remember and to thank him for his service today!
