Pte. William Kenneth Bailey

British Army 7th Battalion Hampshire Regiment

from:24 Rhys Street, Trealaw, Wales

(d.16th July 1944)

As a philatelist I acquired some WWII forces mail to the same address in South Wales. One was from Ken Bailey in June 1944 to his parents. Only on reading the other two, sent later, did I realise these were from soldier friends sending condolences. Research shows he was killed in the Hampshires attack on Maltot, Normandy two weeks after the letter I have was sent - probably one of his last home. He is buried in Bayeux War Cemetery.
