He was the son of Harold and Lucy Caroline Richards, of Radford, Nottingham.
Tunisia MASSICAULT WAR CEMETERY VI. N. 20.
Albert Richards died in early July 1943. This timeline places his loss immediately following the official end of the Tunisian Campaign (which concluded in May 1943) and precisely during the intensive staging period for Operation Husky (the Allied invasion of Sicily, launched on 10 July 1943).
During this crucial interlude, RASC transport drivers in North Africa were working around the clock under extreme desert conditions. They were tasked with moving vast mountains of logistics, ammunition, and fuel from inland supply depots down to the Tunisian ports to load the massive invasion fleets. Albert was lost during these high-pressure, final preparation movements just days before the Allied ships set sail for Sicily.
