211285 Pte. Kenneth James Lewsey British Army 8th Battalion Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry (d.27th Aug 1944) Ken Lewsey was my Mothers elder brother. He went across to France a few days after the D-Day landings. After working there way across Northern France they had to hold the river crossing in a small village near Vernon, north of Paris. It was in this village of Pressagny-l'Orgueilleux that he was killed in a skirmish with a German patrol trying to infiltrate the British lines. In a special order of the day they had been commanded to hold the position 'to the last man and the last round'. A sad loss of an eighteen year old. RIP.
