236333 Trpr. Eric Carl Parsons British Army Recce/Armoured Division 49th West Riding from:London (d.25th June 1944) My father, Eric Parsons, was in the above regiment, he was part of the Normandy invasion force. I think he landed around a week or so later than the initial force. During the push through to Caen he was unfortunately killed in a place called Cristot nr Fontenay le Pesnel. The armoured vehicle he was driving (probably a Humber) was hit by an 88mm armour piercing shell from one of the German guns above Cristot. There were four men in the vehicle of which I think two survived. They were combing a corn field for mines at the time. He is buried in the war cemetery in Bayeux, France, he was just 30 years old at the time.
