261832 Pte. Francis Devaney British Army Seaforth Highlanders Francis Devaney was my father. He served in WW2 with the Seaforth Highlanders. He spoke very little about his experiences. I do know that he was evacuated from the beaches at Dunkirk whilst wounded and on a stretcher - shrapnel wounds. In North Africa he was at Tobruk. Then he moved to Italy, where he was involved in the Sicily landings. Then on to Salerno for another amphibious landing. He was at Monte Cassino where he served as a sniper. Injured by bullet wounds in Italy, he was also briefly a POW, although he escaped easily (according to him).
