Born during the March quarter 1922 in the Salford R.D. - ref: 8d/180, the son of John & Cecelia Webster (nee Riley). In 1939 the 1st Battalion, Border Regiment, left their Aldershot barracks for France as part of the British Expeditionary Force. The 1st Borders played a part in the desperate rearguard action towards Dunkirk in May 1941. After Dunkirk, 1st Battalion Border were converted to glider-borne troops. They landed in Sicily in July 1943, although many gliders had crashed into the sea. The heavily depleted battalion was moved back to North Africa later in July, leaving the Battalion's equipment behind when they were evacuated from Sicily. Reinforced, the 1st Battalion fought in Italy with the 1st Airborne Div. | |||
