Where would I find a history of this Division in 1945? I am interested in a Brigadier William Anthony Shiel, Royal Artillery, who was killed in action in Germany on 29th April, 1945. He is buried in Reichswald Forest cemetery.

His death notice in the Times gave the information that he was with the 51st Highland Division.

I did get some information about him here previously, from 52nd Airborne and 51 Highland (I think), but I didn't know then that he was in this division.
