    Dear Sir,

    Ref: MNA/54 (Casualties L.)

    Re the enquiry on 2721128 Lance-Corporal DUCKWORTH.

    I was taken prisoner on 24/3/43, four days before DUCKWORTH was declared missing, and can therefore supply on negative and hearsay information.

    The custom in the IRISH GUARDS was publish details to the battalion of any incidents which occurred on patrols. Therefore the survivors of an action made by No. 2 Company IRISH GUARDS who joined me in a P.O.W. Transit Camp in TUNIS, on about 30/3/43 were able to tell me that DUCKWORTH had failed to return off patrol and was believed to have been killed.

    I was in this Transit Camp until about 6/4/43 and during that time DUCKWORTH was not brought in as a prisoner of war. Later during my captivity I met more IRISH GUARDS who had been wounded and were P.O.Ws. in action. None of them knew anything about DUCKWORTH beyond the account published to the battalion.

    I have never since met anyone who had either seen or heard anything of the missing man. This is all I know on the subject.

    Yours faithfully
    signed
    J. ROBERTS, L/Sgt.

    Original filed MNA/OR/119333 L/Cpl DUCKWORTH.

    QUOTE=dbf;394026]SITUATION REPORT, 1 I.G. - No. 7.

    OPERATION OF 30 MARCH 1943.

    Three men came in during the night. Their stories conflict.

    1. Guardsman AYRES. The Company arrived near the top of the ridge and were immediately engaged by mortar and machine gun fire. After Zero they advanced. His Platoon, No. 11, the first Main Effort Platoon got over the top and into a gully. He was almost immediately hit by a mortar bomb and badly wounded in the shoulder. As he fell he saw a further bomb kill the mammon carrying the No. 18 set and feels sure that Major BUCKNILL, was wounded, possibly killed at the same time. AYRES got back to the C.S.M. and stretcher bearers, had his wound dressed and was sent further down the hill. He reached our R.A.P. at 0030 hours to-day in great pain. He had been evacuated to hospital by the time the second man come in so that the discrepancies in their stories could not be checked.


    2. Guardsman POTTS. Also belonging to No. 11 Platoon. He was unwounded. He said the Company had a very hard climb up and reached their position five minutes before the artillery started. He is under he impression that many of the shells fell short and when asked why he thought they were shells and not mortar bombs said because of the loud explosions. No. 10 Platoon led by Lieutenant C.D. LESSLIE advanced and were immediately engaged by machine guns just forward of the crest. All Germans opened fire. No words of command were heard. No. 11 Platoon started to come up on the left and as it did so Major BUCKNILL shouted to him to get Lieutenant A.W.T. ROCHFORD up from No. 12 Platoon to take command of the fire platoon, No. 10, as Mr. LESSLIE had been wounded. This POTTS did. No. 11 Platoon now came up on No. 10 Platoon's left and No. 10's right. No. 11 immediatel came under fire and several men dropped. An exchange of fire took place, though the Germans could not be properly seen by POTTS owing to the thickness of the scrub. After about an hour 5 flares or very lights were sent up. These were not seen from our O.P. although several incomprehensible thin pillars of smoke were noticed. At the same time two Irish Guards (one of them Lance-Corporal FILDES) signallers called for smoke for five minutes with the lamp without avail. This signal was not visible from the O.P.and rolled or fell over the cliff. About three quarters of the way down they came across C.S.M. FERGUSON, who was organising the stretcher bearers and looking after the wounded of whom there were several. The C.S.M. ordered them lower down. THey went down to another gully and found a further 8 men under Sergeant FANNING. The bottom of the hill was being swept by fire and escape seemed impossible. POTTS decided to chance it and crawled into a further gully, where 5 more men were. German patrols came down the hill. POTTS got into a gorse bush by himself. Three Germans came over the crest of the gully. Somebody called 'Kamerad'. More Germans came to the gully he had just left. One had a long jacket and high boots. 'There are some over here, Jim' said someone in English. The Germans captured the men in these gullies and put them in groups. After a quarter of an hour they marched them off. A German picked up POTT's rifle which he had dropped as he got into the bush, but missed him. The search continued. Then the smoke screen started to come down, but the wind dispersed it quickly. The Germans fired wildly into the smoke. POTTS dis not dare make a break for it then. The Germans searched the scrub the whole afternoon.

    It should be mentioned here that during the attempted withdrawal, the fire platoon, No. 10, was giving covering fire. POTTS also heard a Bren gun firing lower down.

    POTTS did not hear the Bren gun fire which was heard on RECCE RIDGE from here yesterday evening. In consequence of this firing further smoke was put down at 1830 hours last evening just before dark. The Germans had taken the precaution of posting men at various strategic points and immediately opened fire along the edge of the cornfield. POTTS wisely postponed his departure, but noted the positions of these little posts. At 2100 hours he made a run for it, but had gone scarcely 300 yards down the track leading from RECCE RIDGE when he ran into a small German picquet of two men. He dashed across a field and got away. He reached the Battalion area at 0350 hours this morning.


    3. Gunner WILKINS, 19 Field Regiment, ROYAL ARTILLERY. He was never forward of the rear F.O.O's position on the little ridge in front of RECCE RIDGE. He saw nothing of the action, but heard firing last night.


    There seems little doubt that the Company fulfilled its task of getting into the gullies on the other side of the crest, this being borne out by Sergeant MEARS, one of the wounded, who returned yesterday. A German C.S.M. who did not enjoy the proceedings and left at the earliest possible moment reported in at No. 1 Company this morning. He described a confused melee at the top of the hill and apparently was under the impression that we had won the day. A fuller report of what he had to say will be issued as soon as it is received from Brigade.

    An Infantry Gun, perhaps the one which caused the carriers so many casualties, was pinpointed yesterday evening in M'DAKRENE FM and was dealt with, it is believed, effectively by the Heavy Artillery. Last night between 0100 and 0200 hours, small arms fire was heard coming from the same farm by No. 4 Company.

    Sergeant MEARS states that he saw Major BUCKNILL leading some men with a Tommy Gun at a later time than AYRES says he was wounded, so AYRE's statement is disproved.

    He's also mentioned in post 3
    http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/394025-post3.html

    Yes I did read this. I already responded to a man on here who is related to Mcafferty, he and my Dad were wounded in the opposite shoulders and crawled through a field together with the Germans firing down on them that day, that I do remember him recalling. He must have lost a lot of friends that day.

    I also have a letter from the Irish Guards Assoc written in response to one from him enquiring about Mcafferty and Deasley. They couldn't tell him anything as they were not members, my dad paid for a lifetime membership and got very cross if they didn't send the booklet. I have a few of them.

    That's right, sadly, I thought I might have a picture of McCafferty but it seems not. Diane can I use the information posted on here for my write up about my dad, it gives more detail than I have currently. I am also working my way through some war diaries I got through this site. Your write ups are much more personal. It's quite something to see his name like this. Can you also get detail such as this about the operation where he was wounded again in Anzio? It may be that he just doesn't get a mention in the way he has at Recce Ridge.

    Thanks Hyacynth. :D

    Of course you can use it - that's why it's up on the forum; had hoped that there might be something relevant. I'll post up those 2 pages as original images for you too.

    Am working my way through papers I need to get, and that one is next. Yes there should be file for Anzio - I'd imagine it'll be a nightmare to plough through given the casualty rate.

    Thanks, I will await those, and sounds like they will be even harder to read. The next time he was wounded was 26th January 1944. I will definitely use it and will adapt the write up using more military info than the more personal one I had started.

    Hello

    Is anyone out there able to tell me the christian name of Lance Corporal Fildes in this article above please.

    Many thanks if you can :)

    There is a Lance-Corporal A. Fildes listed as POW
    His Army no. is 2721030 and his POW no. 140132. He was listed at one point as being held in Stlg 11b which was at Fallingbostel, I believe.
    IRISH GUARDS WHO WERE PRISONERS OF WAR

    Not all POWs completed a liberation report, and not all of the forms have survived but it'd be worth checking if there is one for him at TNA. These forms have full details, name, dob, unit (if 1bn) where captured and when, and also address at that time. It's variable what else would be included; some just filled in the bare minimum.

    Thanks Diane, I have a horrible feeling he was know by the name Dick and that Richard was his second name too, so it will probably be inconclusive. Though I have found an Arthur R Fildes married in the right place with a son of the right name! I might try to find his son as I think his father has probably died by now! I'm kind of on the trail and they used to visit us when we were kids.

    Thank you again for your speedy response and I have been working my way through your site which is a spectacular achievement and very beautifully done, the amount of work you have put into it is sterling, congratulations
