Pte. William Patrick Murphy

British Army 5th Btn. Dorsetshire Regiment

from:Harlesden, London

(d.5th June 1942)

William Murphy was my grandfather. He was Irish from Cork but moved to England and enlisted in the Army. He was in the 5th Battalion of the Dorsetshire Regiment. We have found out that he died on a beach opposite Chequers Rifle Range, Deal in Kent on 5th of June 1942 aged 37 as a result of extensive injuries suffered due to an explosion of a landmine.

Any further information on my grandfather and this incident would be very much appreciated.
