Recently I have acquired this mapcase beloning to a L/Cpl. of the 52nd Recce Regt. (if my statement of authenticity is correct). However I can't find any information regarding this person. I've looked through all regular documents. Such as book of Carl Shilleto Fighting Fight-Second Recce, War Diaries from 1941 to 1946 and Roll of Honours. Can anyone perhaps point me to other documents/resources? Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Guido
Have looked on Findmypast (WW2 casualty lists) and Ancestry but without success. Similarly he doesn’t seem to be mentioned in ‘This Band of Brothers – a history of the Reconnaissance Corps’.
Recce_Mitch has the 52 Recce war diaries in his albums. http://ww2talk.com/index.php?media/users/recce_mitch.7031/albums&page=5 I've had a quick look but can't see his name yet, you might need to spend a bit longer going through them to see if he mentioned.
