    One of two of the members will already be aware, but I have started to research the background to all of the men of Widnes, Lancashire (now Cheshire), who gave the ultimate sacrifce during the 2nd World War.

    The aim is to create and publish a book in order to raise funds for the Royal British Legion, with he project being self funded any assistance will be greatly recieved.For each of the casualties listed I am researching their individual personal details, and want to add to this any details obtainable surrounding their military service, unit history and circumstances of death.

    So far I have catalouged the 228 casualties obtained through Geoff's seach Engine, and still need to add approx 70 which are listed on the local cenotaph but do not have details of next of kin in Widnes, which I plan to do tomorrow when the cenotaph gates are unlocked.

    The catalouge is in exel format for easy of search by date of death, service, regiment, location of grave etc, but for the purposes of this thread I have added an abridged version, by name.

    I would gladly accept any help expecially links to websites which will help in this quest.

    Regards
    Phil

    Andy, yes it would be great if you have any of the Airborne chaps. Ove got a couple of the 10th Btn Para Marker in Oosterbeek to add to Pvte Moss's page, along with the unit History, but anything that you can add would be a great help.

    As this list is huge can I suggest a seperate thread for each of the Armed Forces, as then the relevent info for each chap will be easier for us to post.
    I can add something for some of the Army chaps & I'm sure Peter can add some RAF info but it's just that list is massive.

    Would agree, it is hard to digest such a long list. Owen's idea about splitting them via arm of service is a good one - that way I think we will be able to help more.

    They would have been killed when the ship carrying 43 RECCE to Normandy , MT 41 Derry Cunihy blew up.
    I can post a page from Div History if you wish, unless someone has the Regtl Hist?


    On 24th June 1944 43rd Reconnaissance Regiment were aboard MT 41, the troopship DERRY CUNIHY, just off the Normandy coast when a mine exploded against the hull. Major Desmond Scarr recalled:-

    "The troops were still below and most of us in bed when a violent shudder shook the ship. I saw the wash-basin on the wall of my cabin fly off its brackets and end up on the floor. I had no idea what had happened but presumed we had had a direct hit from one of the coastal guns. As I started to throw on my clothes my cabin mate, the sailor, who had been on duty, rushed in and out shouting "Quick - you have no time to dress - get out!" However, I completed dressing which took a few seconds and went out on to the deck. I quickly came to a yawning gap of several yards and in front of me was a scene from Dante's Inferno which I simply could not grasp. The stern part of the ship had fallen away and was low in the water. On the as yet unsubmerged deck, part of which was in flames, lay several bodies. An ammunition truck near mew was on fire and feeling rather useless in that there was no way one could reach the stricken part of the ship, I turned a water hose onto the vehicle. Soon small arms ammunition started to explode, adding to the general mayhem. Shortly after that we were told to get aboard a small craft which had come alongside."

    The regiment lost 180 dead and 150 wounded in the disaster but, with reinforcements and replacements, was operational by the end of the month.

    Owen,

    A good friend of mine from Preston, my home town (Now City) witnessed the ship exploding due to a magnetic mine.

    The ship he was on was moored next to the Derry Cunihy at Normandy.

    Cyril was a poor sailor and was feeling queezy so went up on deck. A short time later the explosion occurred killing most if not all the Wessex Recce Troopers on board.

    Cyril remembers this very vividly to this day.

    He was with the 43rd Wessex and when disembarked went straight to Caan.

    Regards
    Tom

    Phil,
    That should be all the details which I could find in Army Roll of Honour.
    Unfortunately there were a few which stumped me altogether, no matter how I searched; others fall outside the dates provided on RoH.
    However, hope this helps a little.
    Regards,
