| NOTES
Source: Daughter (Sandra) “Horace joined the army in, I think, 1933 when he was 15. He talked about serving in India before the war and of being in Egypt which I think was during the war. He always admired the Gurkhas and said they were the bravest men he ever knew. I don’t know if that relates to his service before or during the war. He did say that he was promoted several times but was always busted back to Sapper! The guards at the camps treated them decently but that in the early days they were short of food and the prisoners ate the commandant’s dog!”
