    Has anyone on the forum has got copies of the war diaries for 212 & 244 Company of the Pioneer Corps for May and June 1945?

    I am researching two privates from these companies who are buried in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I would like to find out more about the circumstances of their deaths. The burial reports from the local archives mention no more than 'killed on active service'.
