Queen's Own Royal West Kent - Private Stan Hill 6345430

Hi,

I am looking for any available information regarding Stanley Richard Gordon Johnson who joined Queen's Own Royal West Kent. His service number was 6345430 so he joined after 18 Apr 1940 (6348678 was issued on this date).

Stan married in Mar 1944 and listed his address as 13th Infantry Training Centre, Maidstone Kent.

I have been able to find an entry in the The Royal Army Medical Corps register of soldiers showing that Stan was transferred from Royal West Kent Regiment on 28 Sep 1944. How long after being injured would this have been? The dates match up with Arnhem.

Stan was relegated on 14 Jul 1946 to section 'B' regular army reserve on 14 Jul 1946 and then discharged on 24 Jul 1946.

Is there anyway I might be able to find out when Stan was injured, and also which battalion and company he may have been in?

I have searched through the list of casualties, London Gazette, Queen's Own Gazette etc but have not found anything.


Many thanks,
Claire
