Pte. Peter Herbert Richardson
British Army Middlesex Regiment
from:Holloway/London
(d.24th Feb 1944)
My uncle, Peter Richardson whom I was named after, was killed at Anzio, Italy, he served with the Middlesex Regiment along with his brother Dennis. They survived being in the rearguard at Dunkirk, and his brother Dennis survived the war, but always suffering the effects of being continuously shelled.
I have visited his grave at the Beach Head War Cemetery in Anzio, and was very pleased to see the condition it is kept in. It's a very long time ago now, but if anyone has any information regarding my uncle, and is prepared to pass it on, I would be very grateful.
