Hi, I finally have an image of Marine WJ Watkins. 44 Cdo. He was my great great uncle and died 5th of March 1945 of malaria which spread to his brain. I've always been interested in his story and if anyone can help me find out what troop he was in and what they were doing when he died, that would be muchly appreciated. Thankyou!
