I was just researching the opening stages of Market Garden and his name come up and he was in the lead tank of the Irish Guards, and I would like to see a picture of what he looks like.
It is in the book Market Garden then and now from Karel Margry. Exellent starting point when investigating this part of the battle.
Here you go...A bit minty but excellent books on the subjects. They'd make a great Xmas pressie http://www.afterthebattle.com/store/index.php?id_product=214&controller=product
