2577563 Signalman Arthur Preston Royal Corps of Signals 49th Divisional Signals T.A.
My father in law visited up today and left for me to look at some items belonging to a relative Signalman Arthur Preston ( 2577563 ) a T.A. member of the Royal Signals.
There is Arthurs AB 64, his Soldiers Release Book and some paperwork and his medals which comprise the 1939/45 star, Defence and War Medal and Territorial Efficiency Medal and a limited edition hardback book "The 48th and 61st Divisional Signals T.A. 1939-1945 " ( his book being copy 105 )
Arthur enlisted into the T.A. in Birmingham on 13th March 1939. It appears that he was captured after Dunkirk and spent the rest of the war as a POW being Prisoner of War No.11727 at Stalag XXA (45).
Some pictures of some of the documents are attached, not a badge is sight but I think worth some further research to see what else I can find out about Arthur.
P.B.
