 | I was doing some work on the "Canloan" officers and came across a list naming them, both killed in action and survivors. I don't know if it is complete. Maybe it says something about that on the site? http://www.war-experience.org/canloan/regiments.htm |

Look at this from the site I posted details of above. All units of 21st Army Group are covered, but the "First of Foot" seem to have been very heavy on Canuck officers! There is a contact email for "Canloan" Old Comrades too. Royal Scots - 8th Battalion-15th (Scottish) Infantry Division ROH-129 Lieutenant John P. Blackham K/A 29-6-44 ROH-327 Lieutenant Earl H. Harcourt K/A 16-7-44 ROH-321 Lieutenant Donald K. Lee K/A 28-9-44 ROH-307 Lieutenant Howard C. McAllister K/A 29-6-44 ROH-361 Lieutenant Jackson Stewart K/A 15-9-44 ROH-107 Lieutenant Peter B.

| Tony, Thanks. I wasn't clear in my first post. I have downloaded the complete list and extracted the ones concerned. If you have read Peter White's book ' With the Jocks' several Canloan Officers are mentioned. Aye MalcolmII |

Do you have a list of the South African officers attached to the British Army? Mainly in Italy I'd have thought. All that I have read on them is that they wore orange tabs on their shoulder straps. | |

| No, sorry Tony. I have seen some graves of them in Italy - there were a few in Bolsena War Cemetery - but don't have a list of them. Did you get my email by the way, re. the radio programme? If not could you drop me an email.
