Fus. William Henry Stone

British Army 6th Btn. Royal Scots Fusiliers

from:Wales

(d.11th July 1944)

My great uncle, William Stone, died age 29 in Caen. He had been in the Army for some years serving in India.

The night before he left to join the troops preparing for the Normandy landings, he meet with his sister Eira Kennedy in the Crown pub in Cricklewood, London. My nan, Eira, took the sock from my 3-month-old father Vincent and put it in William's top pocket for good luck, but sadly he was never seen again.

I have taken my two sons to Banneville-la-Campagne War Cemetery where William is buried. We will always remember him.
