Spr. Eric Victor Clay
British Army 262nd Field Company Royal Engineers
from:Sleaford, Lincs.
(d.18th June 1944)
Eric Clay is my uncle. With his wife Enid they had one son Eric James Clay born May 1942. As far as I know, Eric Victor landed on Juno beach in the second wave. We believe he was killed by a land mine at Bernieres Sur Mer. He is buried in Bayeux Cemetary. He had one older brother, three younger brothers and one sister. All the brothers served in various army regiments. I don't have any further information about his military service.
The 262nd (Sussex) Field Company, Royal Engineers were engaged on beach obstacle clearance with the 3rd Canadian Division.
