Cameronians WW2
« on: Thursday 05 November 09 14:46 UTC (UK) »
I am trying to find out any information I can on Arthur Colin Pitt's war years. He served in the 1st Battalion Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) during WW2, and was a Colour Sergeant and his number was 5575523.
He served between 27/6/1940 until the end of the war, and was in Burma, and I believe he also went to Australia.
Any info would be greatfully received-he died in 1996.
regards.
