Pte. Randolph Parker. British Army, 1st Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment. (d.14th June 1944) I am trying to find as much information as I can on my Uncle Randolph Parker.
He was killed in action in Burma on 14th June 1944. My Dad tells me that they were notified he had been injured, however the information I have been given so far is that there was no known body, therefore no grave. However he is remembered at the Rangoon war memorial. Also I only have one photo of my Uncle, is there by chance anyone out there got any photos that they could share with me?Melanie Parker Smith
