Cpl. Wilfred Owen Thomas

British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Fusiliers

from:Neath, South Wales

(d.11th Nov 1944)

I don't know a huge amount about Wilfred Owen Evans, Just that he was my Great Uncle on mum's side. He was serving in Italy in 1944 with the Royal Fusiliers 2nd Battalion and whilst on patrol came under fire. He was apparently the last JNCO killed in the Battalion in Italy. The patrol despatched to look for Wilf's patrol also came under fire. The Lt and Sgt killed in the subsequent action were the last Officer and SNCO killed.

If anyone can expand on this, or if anyone knew Wilf Thomas.I'd love to hear from you
