Holland, April 1945.
Before I leave the Otterloo battle in my writings I thought it would be good to add a touch of remembrance to those that were in Fox troop and were my fellow gunners. To list those that lost their lives and those that were wounded from Fox Troop.

That is the list to the best of my memory. Of the wounded only Jockie Mc Millan and Clarence Cawkell either remained with the troop or returned to the troop.
In the years since quite a number have passed away. I still have contact with only one that I know that is still alive and that is Clarence Cawkwell. who if you remember the story of his watch which he still has to this day.
The rest of you RIP old friends. I cherish the time I spent with you. We were so young so many years ago.
