(d.21st April 1941)

I found Bernard Pettit named on a grave stone that belonged to his mum and dad and wanted to find out what happened to him. Bernard was born c1918, his parents were Bernard Joseph and Helen Rosetta Pettit of Battersea, London. He died aged 23yrs, in Greece. The British Army tried to halt the Germans invading Greece, unfortunately they were unsuccessful in stopping them. Apparently they were poorly equipped. Having eventually being evacuated back to Egypt. Bernard belonged to 9th Battalion, Kings Royal Rifle Corps also known as The 1st Rangers.
