204929 Pte. Anthony Francis Pook British 4th Btn. Northamptonshire Regiment from:Torquay (d.30th Jul 1943) I am trying to trace my Grandfather Francis Pook's movements during his service, he unfortunately was killed in 1943, we know that he is remembered at Cassino memorial. However there seems to be some confusion of where he met his end, I believe that his official death was recorded as being in Scilly, however several years after the war my Grandmother received a letter from a gent in Ireland who gave an account of my Grandfather demise, who claimed he was machine gunned by a German fighter plane in North Africa, however his body/remains was then moved to main land Italy where his battalion was serving? There was also some confusion on whether he was serving away from his unit. I would really like to know where he served and of course where/how he died. Would appreciate any news or indeed where I would be able to find this information.
