210791 L/Sgt. Reginald Elwell British Army 8thBattalion A.A.C Parachute Regiment from:HeathTown, Wolvehampton (d.13 June 1943) Whilst researching my Family Tree I came across the following citation on the Wolverhampton Roll of Honour World War 2. Elwell Reginald Lance Sergeant 5120812 8th Bn. Parachute Regiment A.A.C. Son of Thomas and Nellie Elwell, of Heath Town, Wolverhampton; husband of Ada Elwell, of Heath Town. Died - 13 June, 1943. Aged - 32. Memorial - Heath Town (Holy Trinity) Churchyard - Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. Old Ground. Row 51. Grave S/3. It transpires that Reginald is my 1st cousin twice removed. I have found his burial site - Holy Trinity Church, Heath Town, Wolverhampton. - but have been inable to find any more information about his wartime experiences. His gravestone states that he was killed "On Active Service" but doesn't say where or how he died. I would love to find out more about Reginald - can anyone help?
