Guy died on Saturday 13^th June 1942 aged 21 from wounds sustained during the disastrous Battle of Gazala [26^th May/21^st June 1942] which his regiment fought in and is the third OW to be buried in Knightsbridge War Cemetery, Acroma, in Libya.

The Battle of Gazala, was one of several fought during the Western Desert Campaign west of Tobruk. Axis troops consisting of German & Italian under the command of Generaloberst Erwin Rommel fought the British Eighth Army, under General Sir Claude Auchinleck, (also C-in-C Middle East) comprising mainly British, Commonwealth, and Free French troops.

The catastrophic losses of 13^th June by the British Eighth Army led it to become known as "Black Saturday". This coupled with other failures led in turn to the fall of Tobruk.  

Son of the Revd. Prebendary Ernest Henry Rogers & Lilian Mabel Rogers of Tamworth, Staffordshire.
