Tpr. James Rothwell

British Army 44th Royal Tank Regiment

from:Pendlebury, Manchester

(d.6th September 1944)

My Great-Uncle, James Rothwell was killed on 6th of September 1944. I believe by a Sniper, fighting at Kerkhoven, Belgium. He was aged 30, leaving behind a wife and two children. He was called up in 1940 and saw service through N. Africa, Egypt, Libya, Sicily, Normandy and lastly Belgium with the plan to link up with the 101st at Eindhoven. He is now buried at Leopoldsburg War Cemetery.

I have only a couple pictures from a newspaper article and a couple of his gravesite. I was hoping somebody may have known him, and have some more detailed information about him and what he did?
