I am researching the above who served with 11 Royal Tank Regiment in WW2; sadly being killed in action on the 6th November 1944 and buried in Bergen-op- Zoom War Cemetery in the Netherlands.
He was the son of William and Helen McKenzie of Edinburgh.
I have tried, without success to find his date of birth , he was 23 when killed, can anyone assist?
Many thanks
Mark Abbott

Cemetery in the Netherlands. Before join in the army he was employed as a felt weaver by D Whiteford and Co ,
Longwood. A member of the MilnsbridgeSocialist and County club and played football for the Milnsbridge YMCA team.
A long shot but does anyone know if any of these organisations have a photo of him?
Does anyone know if he is remembered on a local war memorial?
He served with the 5h Highland Light Infantry.

Unfortunately, due ti illness, I have not been able to spend much time carrying out any research into Frank Faulkner over the last couple of years. I am however happy to report that I have discovered Frank was the Chairman of the Torbay branch of the Dunkirk Veterans Association.
