L/Cpl. Ernest Whitfield
British Army 2nd Battalion. York and Lancaster Regiment
from:Sheffield
I have been handed down, what I would describe as a death plaque, it is about Lance Corporal Ernest Whitfield of the York and Lancaster Regiment. It was a shock to me as I never knew this person existed, however I was aware that two of my father's brothers was killed in action in WW2. The only thing I am aware of is that Ernest was killed sometime during WW2.
I would like to tidy up this piece of history.
Editor's Note: The CWCG website records L/Cpl Ernest Whitfield aged 23, son of Harry H. Whitfield and Ada Whitfield as being killed on the 25th of May 1941 during the campaign in Greece and Crete, he has no known grave and is remembered on the Athens Memorial
