Missing in action soldiers Holland 1944-1945

I try to get a list together of the soldiers UK/Canada who were killed between 1944-1945 during the fighting in the Netherlands.
If anyone can help out with a name of maybe has a War diary/book, any other documentation that could help out I would be pleased to hear about it

 

Is it just missing, or all the dead?

If it's missing then they are all on the Groesbeek Memorial, as I am sure you know, with aircrew on Runnymeade.

 

Missing, they are indeed on the memorial, but this also includes does killed in Belgium and Germany, so have to filter these out.

 

Thanks D

note from JGILB which I think you may have seen - not too used to this site (but persevering) my Uncle John (Jack) Burge was lost killed in action at Arnhem - we believe crossing the Rhine during the evacuation. Glider Pilot AAC piloting a Hamilcar(identified by AndyBaldEagle from a photo I sent him of Jack in front of the glider with personnel. I know that from time to time remains are found of lost personnel but I think he may have been swept down the river - a friend of his in front of him at the time came to his Mother after the war and told her that 'he looked round and Jack had gone' and I believe this was as they got into the river.

Nick Brown was his co-pilot flew from Tarrant Rushton C.Squadron

 

Not sure if I understand your requirements exactly but have you thought of trying th Commonwealth War Grave Commission web site and searching by Cemetery?
If you list everyone killed in say Mierlo war cemetery, well they all died in Holland

 

I have compo, but not all of them are killed in the Netherlands,also in Belgium, and Germany, and same with Mierlo, sometimes they were taken from Germany to Holland, for example the New Zealander RZ casualty which we discussed on the forum who lies buried at Uden.

 

Amazing Philip. Any idea why they would move them such large distances? You hear how short of transport they were and still enough to move bodies between countries.

 

No idea, sometimes we know them men got killed on The island, and then 1 or two ended up Bergen op zoom, maybe they were taken by an US grave unit who find out that they were british and then were brought over to the nearest cemetery
I know oosterbeek/arnhem sometimes civilians brought bodies over to the cemetery in 1945/1945

 

Have already brought the list down to 450, keep checking units, any info would be most welcome,still looking for a number of units their positions in 1944`-1945.
