GORDON-WATSON MC meanwhile were busy on the aerodrome at WOLOWE where they knocked out 6 dual purpose 88s and about 40 of the crews. Great fun was had chasing the little men across the runways with HE. We were ordered to send a platoon and a troop of No. 3 Sqn to help some of the ARMEE BLANCHE besieged by the GERMANS near WATERLOO. 3 Enemy tanks and about 200 infantry were reported and alleged to be willing to surrender to regular troops. Lt. W.C.T. MacFETRIDGE took off his Troop, met the promised guide and then had his tank “brewed up” by a PANTHER which showed no sign of surrender. Lt.-Col. J.O.E. VANDELEUR, who had come to watch, lost his Scout Car a moment later, and the force withdrew by not before knocking out a Mk IV tank. Lt. MacFETRIDGE made his way back on foot, swimming a river en route. So the second battle of WATERLOO was not quite as successful as the first.” War Memorial: Newspaper: Websites: Irish Guards: Roll of Honour - WWII Open Resource Group AUDERGHEM COMMUNAL CEMETERY, belgium auderghem Pvt Robert Terrance Clisby ( - 1944) - Find A Grave Memorial
