    Hi,
    I am trying to find out how Lt EF Bell and his driver Gnr PT Baugh were killed in action on the 22nd Jan 1945 in Holland. Apparently they were in a jeep approaching the enemy front line. His niece thinks they were shot by a large gun? An 88mm? Any information, which I will pass on to the family, would be appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Rick
