I am in the fortunate position of having recently acquired the MM group awarded to 1866720 L/Sgt F A Faulkner 17 Field Company R.E. The recommendation for his MM reads as follows. "On 17th April 1945, L/Sgt Falkner, (sic) R.E. was in command of a small party of Sappers attached to "C" Sqn. 3 Recce Regt. This Sqn. was ordered to advance in the area of South of DELMANHORST. During the advance a very large number of enemy mines were encountered. Sgt. Falkner volunteered to go forward with the most leading elements; this he was allowed to do. Completely disregarding his own safety, this NCO on several occasions successfully cleared mines from the road under direct small arms fire. Later, when a man was seriously wounded, this NCO again shewed the greatest courage and initiative by driving his 1/2 track vehicle across the road in order to screen and protect the wounded man from the enemy small arms fire. Throughout the day this NCO not only set a magnificent example by his courage and determination, but his extremely gallant conduct enabled the Sqn to reach its objective." L.G 23 8 1945 Does anyone have access to the WD for the 3rd Recce Regt for the 17th April 1945? Many thanks. Mark
