PETE MORRIS joined the Royal Signals in the Autumn of 1939 at the age of twenty and like so many of this generation had to grow up very quickly. From initial training, his wartime service took him to the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy, through Arnhem to the invasion of Germany. His unit of the Royal Signals was attached to the 8th Armoured Brigade and he saw the sharp end of the fighting – as well as the gloom of post-war Germany – before being demobbed in 1946.
