On Aug 12th i am Taking her to the Trebah hard, where Tom and the 175th embarked, so that she can lay a special wreath on the 29th Memorial to Tom and his comrades. He may be Gone but he and the men of the 175th will never be forgotten here in the far south west of England. Honored by stephen lane [2014-07-30 18:49:19]
Today it is exactly 70 years since Thomas Cassidy was KIA.In 1944 Tom and the men of F CO 175TH, were billeted in my village, Porthleven in Cornwall. Whilst here Tom met a local lady, fell in love and got engaged. 70 years later, his former fiancee still lives here and remembers him with affection. Honored by stephen lane [2014-07-30 18:44:13]
