Pte. Thomas James Fairs
British Army 1/5th Btn. Royal West Surrey (Queens) Regiment
from:Oakwood Hill
(d.26th April 1943)
My uncle Thomas Fairs served with the 1/5th Btn. Royal West Surrey (Queens) Regiment. All I know about was that he was injured early on in the war somewhere on the canals (The Albert Canal seems to stick in my mind). From there he was taken to South Africa for R and R. After that he went through North Africa, only to be killed at the Battle of Enfida. His body is buried in the Enfidaville War Cemetery, a quite well kept cemetery in a busy industrial district.
