252993 Pte. Douglas Charles Hollis British Army 9th Btn. Royal East Kent Regiment from:London (d.20th Jan 1942 ) Douglas Hollis (my father), was a signaller with the 9th Royal East Kent Regiment, working in Devon. He was killed in an accident while delivering a message on his bike. Nothing heroic, just doing his job. I was born about 2 weeks later, so I never knew him. I know that he was a choirboy before joining the Army, and in his working life he was a shoe salesman. After his death my mum worked as a demonstrator in Selfridges, and for the post office.
