keithfazzani Posted 18 November , 2019 Share Posted 18 November , 2019 I have details on Tom Hussey G4324. He was part of D Company 6th Buffs also known as Cory's unit. Although as far as I know he had no connection with Cory whose employees formed the bulk of the company. You probably know the following Born in Chelsea and lived in Notting Hill the son of Mr Alfred & Mrs Eileen Hussey, 6 Calverley Street, Notting Hill. He was a dyer and cleaner. For some reason I have yet to establish he enlisted in Margate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see on the advert for the evening that there is a picture of some description ... is this a full company photo? If so does Tom appear in it as we've never seen a photograph of him Best wishes Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
