Pte. Arthur Farrar . British Army 2/7th Btn. Duke of Wellington West Riding Regiment from Batley, Yorkshire (d.6th June 1944) My late Uncle Arthur Farrar joined the Duke of Wellington West Riding Regiment on 19th of October 1939 and he disembarked in France with the 2/7th Battalion as part of the BEF on 18th of April 1940.
He was evacuated on the 13th of June 1940. After his father Jonah Drake Farrar died in late January 1941 he joined his older brother Jonah Drake Farrar, my father, in the 11th Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment.
They were then both sent to serve in the Middle East and North Africa in February 1943. In May 1943 they were both compulsory transferred to the 1st Battalion, Hampshire Regiment with whom they were both involved in the invasions of both Sicily and Italy before being returning to the UK in early November 1943.
They were then in training as assault troops for the invasion of Normandy in 1944. On D-day 1944 they were both part of A Company 1st Battalion Hampshire Regiment which was first on Gold Beach at 7.32 am on 6th of June 1944. My late father's landing craft was the first to land and Arthur's followed shortly thereafter.
Unfortunately Arthur was killed instantly as he set foot on the beach by a mortar shell.
He is buried in the Bayeux Commonwealth Military Cemetery. He was just 25 years old and had not the war intervened he had a very promising career ahead of him in the first division of the English Football League as he had been in talks with both leading Northern and London Clubs.

Henry William Farrell . Royal Marines HMS Repulse from Plymouth Henry William Farrell was born in 1916 and enlisted in 1936. He lived in Plymouth, Devon.
He was a Royal Marine on HMS Repulse when it was sunk by a Japanese aerial attack off Malaya on 10th December 1941 with the loss of 513 men. It seems that speculation still surrounds the subsequent actions of the Japanese pilots as they did not interfere with the rescue of survivors. The rescuing destroyers took them to Singapore naval base. Shortly after the sinking, the remainder of Marines from HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales, which was also sunk, merged forces with remnants of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, becoming known as the Plymouth Argylls. They took part in a series of land actions against the Japanese. They were ill prepared for tropical warfare and without air-cover so it was a mission doomed from the onset. Subsequently on February 15th 1942, the Argylls were led by a piper from Tyarsell Park Singapore, into 3 and a half years incarceration.
Henry was held in the flowing camps: Changi, Havelock Road, Kinkaseki, Hindato, Non Pladuk and No 17 Fukuoka

Flt.Sgt. John Bertram Farrell . Royal Air Force 38 Squadron from Vowchurch, Hereford. My father, John Farrell, probably known as Jack, joined the RAF and told me only because he knew morse code methods. He was married, and had a couple of babies. (six more later). A busy man one could say! That was in 1942 -45.
He trained, we believe, at Tumbury, and Walney and other places but after passing his exams and he became a gunner on lots of different planes and more often than not flew with a pilot called, Flight Officer Adams. On such a flight, in a Wellington; on the 7th of November 1943. They were targeting a 3,000 ton ship, (mentioned in his log book), the plane ditched in the waters around or near Nexos. Dad said they were in the sea for several hours. Not known to us for sure but a man was lost I believe; the pigeons upset us all too as he wasn't sure of what happened to them and we had many pets now we were living in the country in Herefordshire. Dad said he and the rest of the crew were saved by some Greek men and they helped them get back to safety. Now whether the men went back to Cairo or not is unknown as Dad said he went back to Cairo, but mum said they having been bombed down would have had to go back to England, he was getting on a bit then, he never really talked about the years in the war, he did mention doing some navigating and was a bit naughty, and flew around the house to let mum no he was back home and other stuff which was never specified by either of them? The sad thing is that we can not find those men who saved that crew as we can not find anything about that flight. Dad ditched on the 7th of November 1943, mum knew he was still alive, she told us, 'I just knew he was.' and on the 22nd of December 1943, he came home. I was one week old? Premature? He was probably sent to Madly, Credenhill, Hereford, or Portreth. He later came out of the Air Force and worked in the post office again. My brother and me would have loved to have thanked those Greek men for saving our dads but one doesn't hear much about the men
who did the war behind, the behinders ,one could say?
