Sgt. James Cecil Wrigley

Royal Air Force 260 Squadron

from:Didsbury, Manchester

(d.12 June 1942)

My Uncle Jim Wrigley served in the Western Desert flying kitty hawks and was shot down by a German Ace. He was seen to bale out after his plane was hit. He was found on the ground by a South African soldier but because of heavy fire he had to leave his body and return later. I know that this soldier wrote to my grandparents. He is buried in Knightsbridge Cemetery in Libya we have a photo of his grave but unfortunately nobody has been able to visit. He was the eldest of 8 children. Jim died just 1 month after his 21st birthday.
