256916 Cpl. Derek Edward Harris British Army 2nd Btn. Princess Louise Kensington Regiment from:London My father, Derek Harris, served with the 2nd Battalion, Princess Louise Kensington Regiment from 1938 to 1946. After training, he was sent to Iceland, and was brought back to the UK suffering double pneumonia. Following that period he took part in the 3rd day of the Normandy Landing. He spent a long time in Holland as a machine gunner, safeguarding bridges against the Germans. I can remember Dad taking me to the annual children's Christmas party at Kensington and Dad was a regular supporter of the Regiment's annual dinner and looked forward to meeting his war mates. After the war, Dad took up men's tailoring for some years and then became a commercial traveller for HP Sauce throughout Kent. He became President of the Ferring branch of the Royal British Legion where he retired. Dad died in 2000.
