Sgt. Thomas Watson

British Army B Company 14 Platoon Border Regiment

from:Blyth, Northumberland

(d.21st Sept 1944)

My dad was Sgt Thomas Watson from Blyth, Northumbland. He served with the 1st Airbourne Divison in the Border Regiment. He was killed in action near Driel Ferry and was buried there on the 21/9/44. He was later reburied in Oosterbeek War Cemetery. I didn't know him as I was born Oct 44. If anyone has a photos of Border Regiment or knew him any info would be greatly received. Thank you.

Additional Information:

Your dad along with his platoon and company is mentioned in the book "When Dragons Flew" by Stuart Eastwood. Although there no are photographs of your father there are photo's of men in his platoon who he would have known. I purchased the book, over the internet, from the border Regiment Museum for £25. http://www.cumbriasmuseumofmilitarylife.org/product-category/military-books/
