Sgt. Thomas Fisher Churchill
British Army 9th Btn. Cameronians
from:Burnside, Glasgow
(d.26th June 1944)
Sgt Thomas F Churchill, died 26th June 1944 -
I have just returned from holidaying in Normandy, France where I was able to locate my uncle who was killed on 26th June 1944.
He lies in peace at the British War Cemetry in Bayeux. He was 22 years old and with him lie two other soldiers from the same Regiment who also died on the same day, one of the soldiers is 'known only unto God.'
I would like to find out more about the circumstances that lead to his death if possible. I'm curious that three soldiers who lie together, having died on the same day, possibly were fighting together when they met their demise. I know nothing of how he came to be there and with his brothers and sister also now gone,there is no-one I can ask.
If anyone recognises my uncle's name, I would love to hear from you. He was only one of many who lost his life but also, too young to die.
Kind Regards
