Lest we forget…

William Cocklin (1894 – 1968)

William Cocklin, my Grandfather, was sent to Gallipoli, a soldier of F Company, 10th Battalion County Of London Regiment. The Regiment gained 27 Battle Honours in the Great War.
Very few returned.
Had he not returned from the battlefields of World War 1, my mum, my sisters, our children and their children would not exist and know the freedom that we do today.

 

Aircraftman First Class Albert George Cocklin

The younger brother of my Grandfather; a Royal Airforce Volunteer Reserve who was killed 20 January 1942 and remembered with honour on the Singapore Memorial.
