Gdsmn. Luke Kevin Kelly
British Army 1st Btn. Irish Guards
from:Liverpool
Luke Kelly was my grandad. He was born in Ireland and came to settle in Liverpool with his parents. He joined the Irish Guards and was captured at Anzio. He was then taken to Stalag 4B camp by the Italians. Grandad hated anything Italian! He would never talk about his time in the war.
He survived and married my nan in 1946 back in Liverpool. He lived till he was 80 and passed away in 2003.
