Pte. Harold Jason Dawes
British Army East Kent Regiment
from:Brighton, Sussex, England
(d.25th Feb 1945)
Harold Dawes was my Uncle on my Fathers side. He fought in Burma in the Second World War, serving with the East Kent Regiment, The Buffs.
Harold lied about his age, (he was much younger), to enable him to sign up.
He arrived on the Burma Beaches on 25th February 1945, and was killed instantly, so never got to fight for his Country, as he so wanted to do.
May he Rest In Peace, knowing that he did his bit, his family love him and are very proud.
We miss you Harold. xxxx
