Lincolnshire WWII Veteran’s Remarkable Memories Immortalised in Film

A 102-year-old Royal Navy veteran from Deeping St James, Lincolnshire, had his World War Two experiences turned into a film to mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. Peter Foxon, a former wireless telegraphist, talked about his time in the military, including launching British troops on D-Day and serving in the Pacific. The film, a celebration of his service, was added to the South Kesteven District Council’s YouTube library. Councillor Phil Dilks stressed the importance of acknowledging the sacrifices made by veterans like Foxon. Among Foxon’s accounts are gripping tales like the rescue of a ship’s dog and a moving story of loss aboard the HMS Nith. His time in the Far East saw him witness the tenacious resistance of Japanese forces. The film commemorates the bravery and commitment of Foxon. This story was adapted from original reporting by www.bbc.com.
