We will remember them : Lauren and Lachlan’s Grandfather, Kenneth Whyte (text & image)

Kenneth Whyte

Our Grandfather, Kenneth David Gray Whyte saw active service during World War II. Sadly, he died before we were born but our Father (who was also in the Army) told us a bit about him.

Grandfather was in the Army from around 1939 to 1948. My father said that Granddad was in the Black Watch at the beginning of the war, but, suspected that he served with Special Forces during the War as he was very secretive about his experiences during the War.

This looks like Rommel the German commander but who is he shaking hands with?

Here it looks like General Montgomery and Winston Churchill inspecting rows and rows of troops.

Is the other man General MacArthur?

The photographs featured here belonged to my Grandfather. My dad has sent them to the Imperial War Museum to see if he can find out the history behind them.
