257096 Gnr. Lawrence Pashley British Army 182nd Bty. 65th H.A.A. Regiment Royal Artillery from:Queensbury (d.17th May 1941) Lawrence Pashley was my Father's cousin. He served with the 182nd Battery,, 65th Heavy Anti Aircraft Regiment Royal Artillery in WW2. He died 17th of May 1941.
I have been researching our family tree and my Father was interested in finding out more on the circumstances of Lawrence's death, as he was only a boy when it happened. He remembers that it was sad family news but did not know all the details. Now we all do.
Lawrence died following an air attack on the SS Archangel in the North Sea, near Fraserburgh, while being transported from Kirkwall to Aberdeen en route to Birmingham.
