Fredrick Charles Clorley, Sapper, [14673173], 905th Stevedore Company, Royal Engineers.
Died: 10 June 1944, aged 37 years
Casualty List No. 1484: Reported Missing, 10 June 1944.
Casualty List No. 1608: Presumed Killed in action.
Theatre of War: At sea.
Cemetery: Brookwood Memorial, Surrey, UK [Grave or Reference Panel Number: Panel 5 Column 3].
Note: The Brookwood Memorial commemorates over 3,000 men and women of the land forces, who during WWII, died at sea,
in the campaign in Norway (1940), as members of raiding parties that set out from the UK, or as special agents or workers
with Allied underground movements, and who have no known grave.
Given that FC Clorley was working as a stevedore and the date of his death, (Probate notes his death at on or before 10 June.),
it is likely that he was killed during Operation Overlord.
