Pte. Patrick Edward Linehan

British Army 2nd Btn. Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry

from:London

Patrick Linehan was born on 17th March 1919. He was called up just before WW2 into the Devonshire Regiment but, following the completion of his initial training, he was transferred to the DCLI. He first served around the coastline of West Cornwall but in 1942 he reached North Africa. After service there he served in Italy from where he was eventually taken PoW in 1944 and detained in a PoW camp near Munich until the end of the war.

I have only known Patrick E. Linehan for the past six years and we have spent many happy hours together. In spite of everything, he is looking forward to his 98th birthday in March 2017.
