261931 Gdsmn. Philip Charles Pugh British Army 5th Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.11th Aug 1944) Philip Pugh was born in Birmingham in 1921. When the Second World War broke out, he felt it was his duty to enlist, and so joined the Coldstream Guards. Philip had met a girl from South Shields who was called Louisa Cummins, and who had left her home town to help in the war effort and was working in a Birmingham munitions factory. After a short romance, they were married on the 26th of December 1941. On the 11th of August 1944, five days after the Normandy landings by Allied forces, Philip was killed. He is buried at Calvados in France. A sad note to add is that Philip's wife was pregnant, so he never got to see his child, who was born shortly after he had been killed.
