106 (Lancashire Hussars) LAA Regiment, Royal Artillery : 26/04/1941 - 27/04/1941

My father in law was Jimmy Brown and he and his mate Johnny Barclay are mentioned in this book

 

Hi, I know this thread is really old but have stumbled across it. My grandfather was killed 26/27 April 1941. His name was Peter McMillan Marshall service number 7587804. Royal Army Ordnance Corps.
He was attached to the 106th Lancashire Hussars.
My mother was 18 months old when he was killed and we do not have any photos of him.
If anyone has any info that would be great.
Thanks Gerald

My Grandfather W/O Walter Harris died between the 25th and 26th. He is remembered on the Athens Memorial. He was a full time soldier. He was a BSM for with anti aircraft. Sadly the family have no photos of him whatsoever as later in the war my Grandmother and Father's house was bombed out and all photographs, letters etc were destroyed in the ensuing blaze. I wonder if there are records of soldiers such as photographs kept on file anywhere, before my 86 year old Dad leaves this Earth. Walters father survived the first and Crimean war. My Father served for 22 years in the RN and I served for 10 in the RAF.

 

Hi John it looks like your relative and mine died on the same day with same Regiment I only knew he had died via a torpedo and wondered how if he wasn't in Navy, this info has helped me too. So thank you for asking the question.
