Pte. Jack Lee
British Army 2nd Btn. Seaforth Highlanders
(d.8th Aug 1944)
My uncle, Private Jack Lee, 2nd Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders, was killed in action in Normandy on 8th August 1944.
He was my father’s youngest brother. He grew up with his father William, sister Maud and two elder brothers William and Raymond the eldest (my dad) who both served and survived in the army. They all grew up without their mother Florence, who died shortly after Jack was born. Everyone in my family used to say what a lovely kind man Jack was and we have some letters he wrote to his sister whilst on service. Now my grandson is named Thomas Jack in memory of him. He often asks me about his great-great uncle even though he is only six years old and as a Beaver proudly took part in the local Armistice parade. I am sure the memory of Jack and all the other casualties of war will live on.
