Pte. Benjamin Inrig
British Army 6th Btn. Seaforth Highlanders
from:Glasgow
(d.20th January 1944)
Ben Inrig was the uncle of a friend of mine who thought that Ben had been killed in Sicily. In the event, I checked with CWGC records and discovered he had been killed on 20th January 1944 during involvement in the Garigliano crossing, and that he was buried in the Minturno cemetery. We visited the grave together and being in the locality I visited again some years later.
I would like to have had more details of his death but this seems to be not possible.
My own father was killed in action serving with The Duke of Wellington's Regiment at Anzio.
