Trpr. Arthur Buckley
British Army 1st Btn. Royal Tank Rgt.
(d.10th June 1942)
I have no family record of Arthur Buckley, who was killed in action at the Battle of Knightsbridge in 1942. I have found his grave, but have no idea how he died. He served with 1st Royal Tank Regiment whose museum said that no war diary was kept by the regiment. Has anyone any memories of this battle or photographs of uniform, etc? All records were destroyed by his mother on receipt of the news of his death. I need to remember his sacrifice.
