With regard to this officer..... Captain ARTHUR JOHN WATERMAN 149249 Who died on 02 October 1943 Husband of Gillian Waterman, of Fordingbridge, Hampshire. BROOKWOOD MEMORIAL Panel 1. Column 3. As he is on Brookwood what happened to him to have NKG....wouldn't the 1st Recce Sqn have been in Italy at this time???? Was he 'rear party'????
Trooper Leslie Goulding was my Uncle.He was originally buried at No.9 Duitskampfweg.The Family who owned the House kept the Recce Corps Lads Graves well tended until the CWGC uplifted and concentrated all isolated Graves to the Oosterbeeke War Cemetery.The Son (John) of the Family who tended Leslie and his comrades Graves would often visit our Family here in Carshalton until well into the late 50s.No.9 Duitskampfweg is still known to the local Dutch People as "The Dressing Station" and the House now bears this Name.
Bio by [FONT="]Graeme[/FONT] Clarke who is researching the [FONT="]Walsall roll of honour[/FONT] [FONT="]Frederick BRAWN[/FONT][FONT="] Trooper 14265164 1st Airlanding Squadron, Reconnaissance Corps, Royal Armoured Corps Died in Holland on Tuesday 19 September 1944 Frederick was the son of George Albert and Lily (nee Bailey) Brawn of Chasetown. He served in 9 Section, “C” Troop, 1st Airborne Reconnaissance Squadron and was killed during the assault on Arnhem. Of the 30 gliders despatched containing his unit, 2 failed to arrive. Upon landing during Sunday 17 September 1944 HQ, “D” and “C” Companies headed for the Arnhem Bridge as a coup de main but were held up by strong German opposition and suffered several casualties. “A” Company stayed behind as a reserve as planned. The War Diary for the day on which Frederick was killed records the following, “19 September 1944 - Place: Arnhem 0630 - Tac H.Q. moves out from harbour area - going west along main road towards Heelsum 6477. 0730 - Established 679785. Reception on wireless good. The air is heavy with the smell of dead bodies. Move further west though 1st Battalion Border Regiment outposts 675785. 0900 - R.A.S.C. dashes through position - announces Germans coming up main road from west. Spirited siting of defensive pits under the supervision of Captain Costeloe. 0930 - Germans fail to materialise - work returns to normal. Wireless very clear in spite of trees. 1000 - Reports that the enemy have crossed the river Lek in force at Renkum 6276 and is pressing east. Captain Costeloe and Lieutant Christie site Polsten section to cover the road west. 1100 - Tac HQ returns to 683785. 1230 - Control Jeep reports to Divisional HQ to escort G.O.C. to 4 Para Brigade HQ - continuous wireless contact. 1315 - R.A. Battery in field close by open up Battery shoot. 1350 - Messerschmitts overhead. Planes veer from side to side. Ten come down in line ahead - bursts of cannon fire strike road near our positions. Intense barrage of Sten gun fire from R.A.s - endangers Tac HQ more than the planes. 1415 - Having lost contact with “C” Troop move to 679790. Supply drop in progress - heavy firing. One Stirling crashes near our position. Fail to pick up “C” Troop. 1500 - Return to old position 683785. 1530 - Streams of Jeeps carrying wounded and marching men move back through our positions. Prove to be 156 Parachute Battalion who have been hit by a very strong enemy force. Prisoners arrive from “A” Troop - one part of an enemy force about three hundred strong who have cycled from a German N.C.Os school at the Hague. 1620 - Lieutenant QM Collier reports in. Informed Captain Allsop that 2 Jeeps containing 7 other ranks - the remnants of “C” Troop - have appeared at rear HQ. This is very bad news indeed. 1700 - “D” Troop in a very precarious position are ordered by Division to retire to that HQ. “A” Troop withdraws to Tac HQ. 1730 - Tac HQ and “A” Troop return to 697785. Captain Allsop goes to Divisional HQ. 1800 - “A” Troop ordered to take up positions of observation on railway 693796. 2200 - “A” Troop return. 2330 - “D” Troop in Div HQ area. No activity that night.” Killed during the day, Frederick is buried in Anhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery in Grave 1.B.2. He was 21 years of age. Cheers Paul [/FONT]

Hi, Trooper Thomas Murphy was my 2nd Cousin, would anyone have any further info on him e.g. War Diary excerpts, Unit etc. I believe that he may have been killed in an accident rather than during an engagement and wondered as he was in Air Recon if it could have been a glider crash as I believe Recon used Glider Transported Jeeps, any further info would be appreciated. His Father was a Corporal in the DLI in WW1 and won the Military Medal. RE: Trooper THOMAS MURPHY 14286328 Who died age 20 on 17 July 1943 Son of Thomas and Hannah Murphy, of Birtley, Co. Durham; husband of Mary Jane Murphy, of Birtley. ENFIDAVILLE WAR CEMETERY III. B. 30.
Casualty lists state 'accidently killed'. Might be wrong, but I wonder, if he was killed in a glider crash, he would be declared killed in action?
According to "Freddie Gough's specials at Arnhem" he accidentally shot himself while they were preparing to mount guard
