C.Q.M.S. JOHN TANK
(M.i.D)
Reg. No: 6474582
ROYAL FUSILIERS - ROYAL ARTILLERY
MIDDLESEX REGIMENT - 5th NIGERIA REGIMENT

Can anyone please help with information on John TANK
John enlisted in July 1940 and joined the ROYAL FUSILIERS until 3/10/1942
(where did they serve?)
Posted to ROYAL ARTILLERY 1/11/1942 - 14/12/1943 (where did they serve?)
and then posted to MIDDLESEX REGIMENT 15/12/1943. But then attached to
5th Bn NIGERIAN REGIMENT.
John Tank was first in India (when?) and then served in Burma. When, and in
which theatre of operations? He was awarded the Burma Star, and "Mentioned in
Despatches". John Tank died a good few years ago and, like many men who served
in Burma didn't say much about his experiences. So his daughter would like to
know if there are any photos of her Dad. What exactly did a C.Q.M.S.do...In
short, anything at all really!
On my OWN behalf, my late grandmother was born in
Rangoon in 1888, coming to England in 1919, never to leave. Obviously she took a
close interest as to what was happening in her beloved home-land ad I have
carried that on. My request? Would any one be willing to share photos/memories
of pre-war Rangoon and afterwards? Very many thanks. Norma Hewitt on
