Phyll Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Hi Le etc., I for one love your site. So many heartbreaking, but inspiring stories of brave men and women. Talking of family, I often wish I could get my Mum's cousin, Tom Harmon on there, but I don't know if he qualifies? He died in WW2, in Burma, he lived in Prescot, but his Aunt, my Grandmother lived in College Street, St. Helens. His Father, John Harmon is mentioned as also served on The Prescot Roll of Honour. These are his details taken from The Lancs Fusiliers site. Lance Corporal, HARMON, THOMAS JOHN,3454694. 1/8th Bn. Lancashire Fusiliers. 28th February 1945. Age 28. 19. H. 17He was the son of John and Lucy Harmon.Also husband of Annie Harmon.Father of Lucy and Tommy.Grandfather of Julie McLellan http://www.lancs-fusiliers.co.uk/LFs%20killed%20in%20Burma/lfs%20killed%20in%20Burma.htm While I am here, maybe you missed it, but I mentioned on this other thread, that there was a lot of great info. on a newspaper obituary for a Cpl. Francis Lee, which I hadn't seen on his page on SHROH, but maybe useful to you. Check out Post # 36. http://www.sthelens-connect.net/forums/topic/41376-various-st-helens-obits/page-3 Edited May 22, 2013 by Phyll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le200 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think we've looked at Thomas J Harmon last time you mentioned him Phyll and we couldn't link him to St Helens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
