I am trying to get information about a relative L/Sgt B D Hillman 2658964 killed on 14.10.1944, at Overloone, unsure if he was in 2 Sqn or if he was in L/Sgt Gough`s troop. Any background information on the whole action, reminisces from other tank crews that would give an insight as to what I believe to be a bloody event

Hello, I live in Overloon. We are trying to collect photos and backgroundstories about all the 281 men who are buried at Overloon War Cemetery. I have a picture from Bernard David Hillmann. Do you have more information about him? You can email me at overloonwarcemetery@gmail.com Rgds, Oscar Huisman
Just to let you know that TJB100 has not been around on the Forum since 28 Aug 2018, just after his post #4.
