The eldest of six siblings Mary, known as May (1920), served in the ATS in WW2, Archibald, known as Archie (1923) served in merchant navy during WW2, Isabella (1925) served in the WAAF in WW2, Flora (1927) and David (1931).<\/p>\n<p>John attended Greenock High School gaining his Higher National Leaving Certificate. As the eldest of six children John saw it as his duty to leave school rather than go to university, where it was thought he might study law. His father was ill with multiple sclerosis and in August 1935 John started to work at the Royal Navy Torpedo Factory, Greenock as an apprentice mechanical engineer. His training included engine fitting and assembly, millwright work, jig and gauge fitting and turning, eventually gaining his National Certificate of Mechanical Engineering after studying at the Watt Technical College in Greenock.<\/p>\n<p>As keen athlete, he was persuaded to enlist as a Territorial in No2 Company, The Renfrewshire Fortress, Royal Engineers based in Greenock to join its athletics team and did so on 10 February 1938. On 12 May 1938 he obtained his Certificate of Trade Proficiency as a Pioneer Fitter EIII.<\/p>\n<p>On 10 June 1938 his father died.<\/p>\n<p>During his time with the Territorials John continued to work at the Torpedo Factory and eventually moved to working in the Drawing Office. He completed the Territorial Camp from 27 September to 7 October 1938, he also attended camp in 1939 but no dates are given in his record. On 24 August 1939 John was called out on Military Service under Section 13(2)(b) of the Reserve Forces Act 1907 and on the same date re mustered as an Engine Artificer Group A Class III. On 2 May 1940 John was posted to 123rd OCTU at Catterick and on 2 September 1940 granted an emergency commission in the Royal Artillery. He joined 304 (City of Dundee) Battery 127 (Highland) Field Regiment RA as a Gun Position Officer. John continued with his athletics and in 1941 he was the Highland Division 1 mile winner at the Highland Games.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10144\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10144\" style=\"width: 293px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overloonwarchronicles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/John-Wilson-portrait-176x300.jpg\" alt=\"John-Wilson-portrait\" width=\"293\" height=\"500\" class=\"wp-image-10144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overloonwarchronicles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/John-Wilson-portrait-176x300.jpg 176w, https:\/\/www.overloonwarchronicles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/John-Wilson-portrait.jpg 436w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10144\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>John Wilson<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On 16 June 1942 the unit left the UK, some ships sailed from Greenock, and sailed for North Africa by way of South Africa, leaving Durban on 16 July and disembarked on 14th August 1942 at the entrance to the Suez Canal at Port Tewfik.<br \/>\u00a0In late August the Division moved into the Nile delta through Khatatba.
