Pte. Arthur Blerkom
British Army 5th Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment
from:London
(d.6th June 1944)
I never knew my father. But honour him and all the other brave men on 6th June and Remembrance Day, every year. My son and I have visited his grave at Bayeaux Cemetery, Normandy which was very upsetting as there were so many young men buried there. Thank God we had such brave heroes to save us from the tyranny of Nazi Germany.
