He was wounded on 14th of September 1944 in northwest Europe but remained with his unit until he was wounded again (GSW to right ankle) on 23rd of September 1944 and medically evacuated to the UK. In May 1945, he was posted to the British Army of the Rhine and later served with 80 Graves Concentration Unit from November 1946.

Leonard Anthony . British Army Highland Light Infantry from Hull I never met my uncle Len Anothony. He was from Hull in Yorkshire and joined the Highland Light Infantry. I know that he was blown up by a mine at the Battle of Cassino and no remains were found. We have a letter he sent to his sister saying where he was and how he was hoping to meet his brother (my father) Sgt Albert Anthony of the Royal Signals who was also at Cassino. Sadly they never met there.

Private Robert Cummings Anthony . RASC (d.17th June 1940) My uncle was on the Lancastria although I don't know too much about him. He was only 21, just a boy as were so many others. His name was Robert Anthony, and was a baker with the Royal Army Service Corps. He was on deck when the ship was bombed, but was terrified of the water, and wouldn't jump when his pals did. They shouted for him to jump, but he was too frightened. Some of his friends survived, and it was they who came and told his mother what had happened.
Although he was an only son, and just a boy, his name was never put on the war memorial here in Ayr, which his mother never understood. But after many letters and these long years his name is now on a small plate, under the memorial, too late for his mother.
Robert Anthony is buried in the Normoutier-en-L'Ile Communal Cemetery.

Lt. Robert A. Antrobus . Royal Naval Reserve HMS Forfar from Watford, Hertfordshire (d.2nd Dec 1940) My father had written below this photo:
another grand old seadog although a bit of a "rough diamond" and possessed a natural sailors tendancy to "spin a line". He served his time in sail and was serving on the "Montrose" (The Forfar before she was commandeered) at the outbreak of the war. He was famous for his devotion to his budgerigars whom whom he was continually exhorting to "Lay egg, you" and for his perculiar but ctachy expressions e.g. "Ger sailing"
I know nothing of how he died, although suspect he stayed with the Captain. He was 46 years old and the husband of Kate Margaret Antrobus, of Watford, Hertfordshire.
