263035 Pte. Phillip Rafferty British Army 1st Btn. Green Howards (Yorkshire Regiment) from:Sunderland (d.11th Aug 1943) Phillip Rafferty was my maternal great-grandfather#s brother. His niece, my grandmother, has always wanted to visit his grave in Sicily. Due to circumstances, she has been unable to visit and has asked me as her granddaughter to visit, to represent the family as no one from his immediate or extended family has ever been able to do so in the past. I plan to visit the Catania War Cemetery in October 2020 with my mother. Phillip had three children and his wife was pregnant with his youngest daughter. Sadly, he never got to meet her. He served in the 1st Battalion, Green Howards (Yorkshire Regiment). He tragically died in action on Wednesday, 11th of August 1943.
