World War Two / Sherwood Foresters Jim Knight Salerno
« on: Tuesday 10 November 09 11:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all I am trying to trace my deceased uncles war history. His name was James Knight better known as Jim, born in 1923 at Bolsover, Nr. Chesterfield, Derbyshire.  He joined the Sherwood Foresters at the age of 17 (he lied about his age). I have been told that he fought in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. He was wounded at Salerno by a mortar bomb which left him with only one lung. I believe he also spent some time in the "glasshouse" but I never heard why he was put in there. Unfortunately I do not know his army number.  Any help that you can give me would be most appreciated.
