My neighbour has just returned from holiday during which time he met one of the daughters of a certain Charles Norman Bramhall who supposedly served with the Manchester Regiment.
Knowing of my interest in the Manchesters my neighbour said I would be able to find out something about him.
From the info below I had assumed that he was 2nd battalion, POW Dunkirk and had served in Burma 1930-1932 but to date I can't find anything on him (except birth and death records) and as I cannot get to Ashton for a few months I wondered whether anyone has any details on him.
I have the following from the family:
Born in Newton-le-Willows on 26th October 1907.
Warrant Officer WO2 (Company Sergeant Major).
Holds 4-5 medals including "Meritorious Service Medal" after serving for 30+ years?
Chelsea pensioner from 1985-89. He died in December 1989.
Believed to have served in India and concluded service in Wooler UK and in a German POW Camp.
Any info would be very gratefully received by his family.
Many thanks in advance.

I am a bit confused by the last piece of information.
Is it possible to find out anything about RSM Bramhall?
