Just picked up this document, hopefully useful to anyone with a family member in the Company to help establish their role or just for general understanding of the organisation of an Infantry Company. I've done a quick check of the casualty lists etc and have the following Men in the Company - 128 Killed - 16 Died after capture - 1 Died just post War - 2 Wounded once - 48 Wounded twice - 7 Wounded three times - 1 Wounded and POW (separate incidents) - 1 POW's - 4 So just slightly under 2/3rds were casualties (and I may have missed some), sobering numbers - 12 Platoon HQ were all casualties during the campaign There was a Military Medal and a Croix de Guerre with Bronze Star among them
I kind of have, I need to check and tidy as there were at least 2 numbers that were slightly out but hopefully I'll add it in a day or two its the kind of list I'd like to try dig into the individuals and add the casualty lists, grave photos, citations etc but I probably won't get round to that
Format has gone off a bit but still searchable - I found 2 of the officers earned MC's and 3 of the OR's were Mentioned in Despatches Company HQ CO 138809 MacPherson Wounded 25/6/44 & 10/8/44 2IC 265849 Douglas Wounded 23/10/44 Awarded MC CSM 6700117 Stevens Wounded DNR CQMS 3127457 Knight Clerk 3131687 Watt Killed 25/6/44 Storeman 3134668 Mills Batman/Driver (jeep) 3126374 Shehan Wounded 10/8/44 batman driver 14389694 Bray Wounded DNR Sniper No1 14404908 Merill Sniper No2 14214499 Robertson Killed 25/6/44 MT Cpl 3133525?
