Hi,

Just joined to say SUMMERS, Maurice Luty was my grandfather. What information would you like for your database?

[malcolm_raf]

Hi

Welcome to the forum, do you know the circumstances of his passing?

Hi

Welcome to the forum, do you know the circumstances of his passing?

Malcolm

Hi, yes - he was discharged April 1945 due to ‘gastric ulcer attributable to war service’. His death certificate says he suffered from ‘cardiac failure, exhaustion, carcinoma of stomach’. His wife spent some time getting him registered as a war death, which involved her MP and newspapers.He is actually buried at Thames Ditton, not Dutton. I hope this helps.
