HQ Troop (Signals). Thomas Griffiths’ landing craft was hit going in to Gold Beach with only three survivors. He was picked up by another craft which was also hit. Yet another craft picked him up and returned to England and then came back the next day to Port en Bessin.
His service continued right through to Belgium. It is believed that his cousin, Arthur Bradley, was lost in the first landing craft and Bob Godfrey, the cartoonist (children’s animation Roobarb etc), was one of his mates in his troop.
