Capt. Peter Wilkinson Swift

British Army Green Howards

from:Scarborough

(d.22nd March 1942)

My father, Peter Swift was serving as a Captain with the Green Howards when He died in North Africa on 22nd of March 1942. The unit was travelling past a ruined area in the desert, and Peter Swift left the army vehicle he was travelling in, thought he saw movement in this area. He went on his own, with no backup apparently, and was shot dead by a sniper in the area. It reports in the Green Howards book, that "no-one else was killed that day". I was 18 months old.
