Hi

I am trying to trace my Grandfathers army career. Here's what i know:

John Barron
service number 6198895
was in Calcutta India in 1936 where he married my nan.
Still in the army residing at Colchester barracks when my mum was born in 1952. At this time he was a staff sergeant.
Family stories refer to him as a 'desert rat'.
Was a champion boxer. recieved medals (5 ithink but no record of these).
spent time stationed in Malta.
I remeber hearing the word 'devonshires' as a child

can anybody offer any advice as to how i go about gaining more info.

Hi Debby, My Grandfather joined the RASC in 1922 at Brighton.
He spent time in Egypt 1929-1935 approximately. He met my Grandmother in Malta. He was in Africa and Europe during WW2. He was with 114 COY.
Do you know when he joined and if at Brighton?
Do do know which Company he was with?
Regards,
Alistair Williams
