Re: Friendly fire WWII
Hello Brian
Not sure if you have this one or not, but came across the incident when searching for something else in the Nottingham Evening Post Monday 24th June 1940. I have not checked the spelling on BMD.
"SOLDIER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT"
"Tragedy During Unloading Of Rifle"
"Leslie Ronald Willsher, 19, a soldier, was accidentally shot when a rifle which was being unloaded by another soldier went off while he was on duty in Essex, yesterday."
"A doctor was called, but Willsher, whose home address was Thorncliffe-road, Southall, was dead."
Regards Mark
