Today marks the seventieth death anniversary of 7374015 Private Kenneth Laycock of the Royal Army Medical Corps. He was born in Bradford and was living there when he enlisted. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission notes that he was serving with the 197th Field Ambulance at the time of his death and that he is commemorated on the Singapore Memorial. The Army Roll of Honour notes that he died whilst serving in Malaya.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
