I am struggling to find additional information regarding my great uncle. I know he served with the 5th Bn The East Yorkshire Regiment (Duke of York’s Own) during WW2. I have obtained some data from the CWGC site.
4348060 Pte Harry Peterson DOB: 13 May 1913, Liverpool. Died: 17 Aug 1942, Mediterranean Sea. I believe he was a POW captured in North Africa, he along with hundreds of other POW’s the ship was I believe sunk by a British submarine? On its way to Italy. Have tried to find out what medals he was awarded and other military details without any luck. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in Advance
