Pte. Johannes William de_Kock
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal East Kent Regiment
from:Woking, Surrey
(d.24th October 1942)
My uncle, Johannes William de Kock was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa of Dutch descent in 1921 then moved to the UK soon after.
He had an older sister Ester, a brother Floris Daniel (Danny) who was my dad, Peter, and 2 younger sisters, Alice and Evelyn. I believe they lived in the Westfield, Old Woking in Surrey.
He was in the 2nd Battalion of the Buffs Royal East Kent Regiment. He so sadly died at the tender age of 21 in the Second Battle of El Alamein and is buried in the war cemetery there.
Always remembered.
