Hi – I’d like to find out more about my grandfather, Joe Bannister, who served in Italy in 1944-5. Details are very sketchy but he was I understand a corporal cook in the Catering Corps (was it the Service Corps at the time?) and based in Bari. Advice on where to start my research would be very welcome. Thanks.
I am looking for details of my Father Alfred Bannister born in Manchester in 1923, He had an older brother called Joe who lived in Denton Manchester UK. Could this be your Grandfather?
