He was killed in action 16/08/1944. Can anyone shed any light on the circumstances surrounding his death?

Thanks for your post. I have the CWGC details & a google search brought up your prior post, but I was wondering if anyone has the War Diaries & would be able to give further details.

Lieutenant Alan Bertram Schofield 187753 was my Grandfather. Any information anyone can share with me would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to the forum. Great to have another Recce on board. Do you have any photos of your Grandfather that you could share. Cheers Paul
