218545 Pte. David Colville British Army 5th Btn. Blackwatch (Royal Highlanders) from:Belfast, Northern Ireland (d.26th Jul 1943) We have just found the documents attaining to David Colville's death, aged 30, in Sicily. No-one in the family had ever met him, but all knew of him. We also have his four campaign medals from the 8th Army. He served from 1939 until 1943 when he was killed in action. It is very sad but we do not have a photograph of him and there are no members of the Colville family alive. We visited his grave in Catania War Cemetery in February this year and it very moving indeed. If by any chance anyone has any photos we would appreciate a copy. We would appreciate any more information about him or his friends.
