5112680 Private Victor Dunne of the 1/5th Battalion, Sherwood Foresters, died on the 16th July 1943. He was 23 years old, the son of Mary Anne Dunne of Erdington, Birmingham. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Singapore Memorial.
Victor is pictured above in the middle row, fifth from right. This photo was sent to me by his great nephew, Martin Skellum. Also remembering, Allen Fredrick Whyley, Martin's father-in-law and another old Sherwood Forester who died recently. (Post updated 18th October 2012).
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
