Private Philip Clive Wakefield
British Army 6th Battalion Black Watch
from:Sawston, Cambridge
(d.13 Nov 1944)
Phil was my granddad's brother - he was only 21 when he was killed in Italy. He is buried in Cesena and from research it appears the 6th Batt were involved in terrible battles in the towns and villages around this part of Italy. I've always been aware of Phil and where he was buried but have really only just started looking into his battalion's role in the war.
