[SERVICE] Whilst Harry was undergoing his initial training many of the Kings Royal Rifle Corps were stuck in France protecting the beaches of Dunkirk so the rest of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) could be evacuated. Many died or were taken prisoner. He was posted to the 2nd Battalion KRRC form training on 20th June 1940. His battalion left England by ship on 27th September 1941. He went to Durban in South Africa for further training before being sent to the North African Desert as part of Monty's 8th Army Desert Rats. He arrived on 2nd December 1941 and was now part of the Allied Mediterranean Expeditionary Force (MEF). He also served in the Western Desert, and in Italy. In 1947 he was honoured with the British Empire Medal. After the war he became a Carpenter and Joiner and in the 1980's was the Clerk of Works responsible for the Thames Barrier project. Harry had no children and his wife Violet passed away in the 1980's. BRITISH EMPIRE MEDAL

[HISTORY] 2nd Bn KRRK ( 60th ) In World War II after initial deployment of the regulars to France as part of the BEF, the regiment lost two whole battalions at the defence of Calais (2nd Bn KRRC and 1st Bn the Queen Victoria's Rifles (TA)) where a Green Jacket Brigade held up the German advance to enable the evacuation of the Allied armies at Dunkirk. Redeployed to North Africa the unit began to see success, continuing with actions in Italy, Austria, Germany and in the Battle of Greece and Crete (where its 9th Battalion, The Rangers (TA), served with 1st Armoured Brigade Group). The 1st Battalion served in the 4th Armoured Brigade that failed to link up with the 1st Parachute Division at the Battle of Arnhem. Rifleman John Beeley was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross for his actions during Operation Crusader. The regiment was awarded 41 battle honours for service in World War II. Post-war the unit was deployed in Germany.BRITISH EMPIRE MEDAL
