Pte. Cyril Neville Bishop. British Army, 2/6th Btn. The Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey). (d.2nd Sep 1944) My grandfather Cyril Bishop was killed in Rimini, Italy, but I am not sure what date. His marriage certificate to my grandmother Esther Simmons states that he was a private in the Royal Berkshire Regt.
Update: CWGC lists Cyril as having been killed on the 2nd of September 1944, whilst serving with the 2/6th West Surreys. Jo Worsley

Pte. Frank James Mann. British Army, 2nd Btn. Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. (d.2nd September 1944) My great uncle, Frank James Mann, is buried in the Florence War Cemetery.
He died in battle in Italy aged 27. He was a very jolly man and left behind his wife, Emily, before they managed to have any children.
As a young girl I knew Emily, who gave me great uncle Frank's medals. Although I wanted to keep them, I sent them to my uncle (Franks's nephew) who was bed-ridden and severely disabled with multiple sclerosis and lived in Australia. I know those medals meant a lot to him. Rest in peace Uncle Frank. Janet O'Donnell
