Hi, My Great Grandfather's nephew was sadly killed in Greece and his name appears on the Athens Memorial. The only information I have is what is recorded below: Name:Harry Hadley Sapper Royal Engineers 580 Army Troops Coy Date of Death: 24/04/1941 Does anyone have any idea what was the role of the 580 Army Troops Coy and also any idea where the Coy was at the time of Harry's death. Any advice or help would be fantastic. Kind regards Adrian
Here's the units war diary. If you look at the dates listed April is missing, probably destroyed or captured during the fighting: WO 169/1914 580 A. Tp. Coy. 1941 Jan.- Mar., May-July
Hi My Uncle, William Calvert was also with the same Regiment and I too would like to know what they were doing in Greece, as he died on 29/04/1942. Regards Robert.
