Kenneth Burrows was born at Wycombe, Buckinghamshire on 3 August 1925, and attested for the Coldstream Guards in August 1942. He subsequently transferred to the Scots Guards, and on 15 August 1947 the Bucks Free Press reported, under the heading ‘Soldier’s action earns praise’ that ‘Guardsman Kenneth Burrows was praised by the coroner for his attempts to save life in a fire near Aylesbury.’ Transferring to the Army Reserve, he was recalled to the Colours on the outbreak of the Korean War and posted to the Gloucestershire Regiment, serving with them in Korea. He died in Worthing, West Sussex, in 2006.
