My Great Grandad fought with the desert rats (the 7th Armoured Division of the Brittish Army) in the Second World War. He fought in both world wars, yet didn't live to see me born and died peacefully. Although I don't know him, I know he was a great guy and am proud of him fighting for our little country called England.
Although I dont know much, hence the short post, i've found an extract about the Desert Rats
here.
