Thank you for posting this. This was my Great Uncle. I have Douglas as my middle name in his memory (as does my Uncle and now my son). I was able to locate his war grave in Tunisia but until now have been unable to find his cause of death. The family story was that he was a despatch rider and he sadly lost in life when his motorcycle was in a collision with a lorry. This certainly seems to confirm the part of the family story.

More than pleased to have helped. If you have his photograph, if you forward it to Jagan, the webmaster, he'll add it to his commemoration page on here
