Sgt. Thomas Joseph Flynn
British Army 8th Army
from:Litherland, Liverpool
All I know is that my dad Tommy Flynn was in the 8th Army (from Liverpool) and in the Desert Rats. He was a sergeant. It wasn't something people seemed to talk about then and he never really talked much anyway. He died when I was in my twenties. I only really found everything out by seeing the news and programmes in recent years. I wish he was here so I could ask questions. I do remember him saying once that his friend's head was shot off in the desert and he kept running for a couple of seconds. Sometimes he would just say something when he had been drinking. It would be nice to have his name somewhere. He died in 1980.
