Pte. Frank James Mann
British Army 2nd Btn. Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
from:Bradford, Manchester
(d.2nd September 1944)
My great uncle, Frank James Mann, is buried in the Florence War Cemetery.
He died in battle in Italy aged 27. He was a very jolly man and left behind his wife, Emily, before they managed to have any children.
As a young girl I knew Emily, who gave me great uncle Frank's medals. Although I wanted to keep them, I sent them to my uncle (Franks's nephew) who was bed-ridden and severely disabled with multiple sclerosis and lived in Australia. I know those medals meant a lot to him. Rest in peace Uncle Frank.
