I’m trying to do a bit of research on a local man John McIlroy Foster 262st Battery, 94tg Heavy Ant-Aircraft Regiment Royal Artillery.

From other details I have found he saw action at El Alamein and it states he was killed 10th January 1944 but checking his records he died in the Uk and is buried here in Northern Ireland.

Just would like to know what happened at this time was he injured in battle and then dying at home of those injuries? Also how life would have been out there.

It’s for a child project for VJ Day Celebrations.
