Sid, born in 1908, enlisted into the Royal Corps of Signals in 1926, before meeting his future wife, Maud.
In 1931, Sid was transferred to the Army Reserves as a Driver, where he stayed until he was discharged in February 1938. However, after WW2 broke out in 1939, Sid re-enlisted into the Royal Corps of Signals, and was posted on the border of Holland and Belgium. As a Sergeant, Sid was in charge of maintaining a fleet of vehicles, and was always sure to bring cigarettes back for the men when traveling over the border!
