    The War Diary mentions Hopkins death but adds little to the account above Daniele.

    Hello Daniele,

    What is your specific interest in O.H.Hopkins? He is buried in Assisi War Cemetery and here is the concentration form.

    You will see he was concentrated into Assisi War Cemetery from map reference 323018 which is on the Montepulciano Sheet:

    Hello Daniele,

    My uncle Trooper Dehmel was killed with O. Hopkins on July 1, 1944. I have both their records, plus their Capt and Trooper Foreman. Is there anything I can help you with? Or maybe you have information I do not have. I look forward to hearing from you. They were originally buried near where they were killed and later moved to Assisi.

    Are we talking about the same Regt: 11 CAR whose 9 Troop under Lt Black was at Monte Grande November/December 1944. Is there anyone who is related to him who would like to get in touch.

    Hi Fred, my name is Jimmy Hilgen from The Netherlands and I was asked by Mike Henry, the son of the only survivor (the gunner) in this tank if I could help him out with the search of the crew. Mike e-mailed me some things he found, but he mentioned that searching history wasn't his best part. I've been doing research on mainly the Canadians who were killed on Sicily, but I'm always willing to help out when it comes to other stories in WW2 in Italy. If you like you can also send me an e-mail (jimmy.hilgen@outlook.com) or I'm also on facebook: Jimmy Jimbo. Look forward hearing from you.

    I suggest sending Fred a PM. I just checked and he has not been on the forum for 6 weeks.
