Pte. Thomas "Tucker" Mosley

British Army 1/5th Btn. Sherwood Foresters

from:22 Mundy St, Derby

(d.6th Sep 1943)

Gravestone

My grandfather Thomas Mosley survived the evacuation from Dunkirk despite accidentally being shot in the leg by a French partisan whilst taking refuge in a haystack, believing him to be a German soldier. The Frenchman presented him with a medal (which I still have today), before evacuation. After recovery, he was sent to Singapore where he was unfortunately captured and sent to a prison camp to work on the Burma Railway. However he died of cholera in the camp.
