No.46 identified as Philip J. Creswick
Nesta Rees identifies her Uncle - Philip J Creswick aka Cressy. Nesta adds "He was wounded on the 8th June 1944 and he was left in a farm by some of his brother troopers. They later "found" a Jeep and returned to the farm. They then returned him to the beach. He died of a heart attack 29th January, 1978. He was a smashing Uncle and I miss him still"
