Sgt. Thomas George Pamplin
British Army 23rd Field Regiment Royal Artillery
from:Battersea, London
(d.8th July 1944)
Tom Pamplin was regarded as the sensible one. He wrote a series of letters to his younger brother, who had been wounded in the head at Dunkirk, advising him to leave hospital as soon as he could and get a job. As the oldest brother of 3, who had all joined up prior to, or at the outbreak of the war, he had been destined to take over the family shop in Battersea. His death in Italy devastated the family. By all accounts, Tom was a principled anti-fascist, who left a comfortable life to fight for a cause. He is buried in Assisi Cemetery.
