| Hello Phillip.,
One of the names rings a bell with me - Fernandez - as my father spoke of him a few times. Will check with him this evening and see if he knows anything. He was 3Bn, but you never know...
There is no mention of three of the names in the IG History, but quite a few Murphys as you would imagine. I will check them and post up anything I find which may be relevant.
Extracted from my aphabetical list for 2nd Bn from Geoff's search engine:
FANNING, MICHAEL 2718741 21/09/1944 Panel 3, GROESBEEK MEMORIAL
THOMAS, THOMAS JAMES 2723252 21/09/1944 Panel 3, GROESBEEK MEMORIAL
WATERHOUSE, RICHARD 2721799 21/09/1944 Panel 3, GROESBEEK MEMORIAL
To include the following day's dates, [though the History reports that 6 ORs were killed on 22nd Sept, there are also a further 10 from 3Bn who died on 22 Sept.]:
APPERLEY BERNARD ROLAND 2719101 22/09/1944
ARNOLD, BERNARD 2721989 22/09/1944
MACFETRIDGE, WC 268994 22/09/1944
MATHER, EF 2720350 22/09/1944
RICE, T 2723711 22/09/1944
WATTERS, WJ 2723656 22/09/1944
