(d.6th October 1943)
My father's cousin Will was killed in action at Termoli, Italy on 6th October 1943. Will served as a corporal with the Royal Irish Fusiliers and was mentoned in the book `Clear the Way!, a history of the 38th (Irish) Brigade 1941-47' by Richard Doherty, which described how he met his end. His remains lie in the Sangro River War Cemetery, Italy, Grave VII.C.33. Does anyone remember Will?
