Pte. Frank Conlon
British Army 1st Battalion Royal Norfolk Regiment
from:Birmingham
(d.20th Aug 1944)
I am trying to find information regarding my father Private Frank Conlon who served with the 1st Battalion Royal Norfolk Regiment and who died in Normandy in August 1944. He is buried in Bayeux Cemetery. I was 3 years old when he died and have only the information my mother told me. My father and mother were both from Belfast, Northern Ireland but met and married in Birmingham. I have tried on two occasions to obtain my father's Army Personnel records but have been told that they cannot be found. He died on the 20th August 1944 but, according to my mother, he was in hospital for a while before his death. I would dearly love some information on him or advice on any other source I can contact to assist me. I want to keep the memory of my father alive for future descendants.
