Interesting to hear how the Brits did it. Thanks. Is your dad still
around. If
so give him my best.

No he passed away in 1982

Where was he in Belgium? I was up in Florennes surrounded
by Brits. Maybe we met there.Who knows? (grin)


He was in that region , they took Brussels on the break
out from Normandy before joing the drive towards Antwerp
and then Arnhem.

During the Battle of the Bulge his unit was moved to the Dinant
area where along with American forces they blocked the German
path to the Meuse.

On the 23rd of December they captured a jeep load of Germans
dressed as Americans driving a captured jeep. They apparently
didnt realise this section of the front was held by Briitish troops.
