Cpl. Frederick Alcroft
British Army 10th battalion Durham Light Infantry
from:Prestwick, Ayrshire, Scotland
(d.16th October 1944)
I never knew my uncle Freddie Alcroft, only that my father, his brother, and the rest of the family took his death very badly.
We have only just come across some old pictures of him. And had a historic pic from his daughter Morag of Freddie on the deck of a trawler on his rescue from Dunkirk, sadly now lost. We believe he is at rest in the Commonwealth Cemetery Assisi, Umbria, Italy
