Pte. James Brereton
British Army 1st (London Scottish) Btn Gordon Highlanders
from:Manchester
(d.4th Feb 1944)
Jimmy Brereton was my cousin. I was only a child of seven when he died but I remember him clearly as he used to visit us quite often. He had only recently married his childhood sweetheart just before he died.
My father was serving in Italy at that time and he and another relative had arranged to meet Jimmy but failed in their attempt.
