Harry, known to family and friends as “Shackie” was my uncle from the Withers family who lived in the Old Newtown Road. As RBH said above, he was killed at the time of the Dunkirk evacuation and was part of the Angle French group that were protecting the beach from the advance of German Troops. His grave is in Bruyelle ,Belgium, he was 33 years old (a professional soldier) and left a wife, Winnie.
