Wilfred Stanley Beamiss

[annlisamer]

I am looking for information on my uncle Wilfred Stanley Beamiss born 1904 married to Peggy Jacqueline D'Esterre, who was a member of the Royal Tank Corps sent to India during 2nd World War.  I believe they had two children.

Any information would be appreciated.

Many thanks for the information gortonboy.  Now I know a little more.  I was unaware of the medals of my Grandfather and didn't even know he served in the Boer war.

Thanks again

Hi Ann,
If you are still interested in researching about Wilfred Beamiss maybe we could swap notes. I am the son-in-law of Richard Beamiss (Wilfred's son) and I know a bit about him - as in what he was doing before his death from paratyphoid.
