Welcome to the forum Jimmy and good luck with your quest. Try this one too as it has a listing for Cameronian Rifles on September 7th 1944. http://members.lycos.nl/hkneerpelt/leopoldsburg2.htm It is not in English however you can track the names. Let us know how you make out!
I am Trying to find out information aabout the Cameronians, as my grandad served with them and was killed in Belgium.
A disadvantage is that, rather than amalgamate with another regiment, the Camaronians disbanded in 1968. However, one place to start is probably the musum: The Cameronians Regimental Museum and Museum of South Lanarkshire, 129 Muir Street, Hamilton, ML3 6BJ. Telephone :- 01698 283981 terry.mackenzie@southlanarkshire.gov.uk www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk Strongly suggest you don't contact them asking; "did anyone know my grandfather". No.9

Hey, and I am search for info over the engagement at Alpon. My own threads ALPEN ( ALPON) Germany. Op „Blockbuster“ and „Veritable“ Feb.-March 1945 Images of Welsh Guards in Alpen (Bönninghardt)?
