256904 L/Sgt. Alfred Thomas Leighton British Army 1st Btn. Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (d.13th August 1944) Normandy casualty, Alfred Leighton, served with the 1st Battalion Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry in WW2. Alfred died 13th of August 1944 aged 32 years and is buried in Banneville-la-Campagne in France. Son of Arthur and Hannnah Leighton, husband of Dorothy Emily Leighton, of Lye, Worcestershire. I recently acquired his medals and paybook. There was also an army postcard with the paybook, signed by Alfred Thomas, dated 1st of June 1940, mentioning that he was alright. I can only presume he must have sent it after his evacuation from Dunkirk. Sadly there was no photograph of Alfred Thomas. We will remember him.
