    Andy,
    What happened on 4/4/44 ?
    Lots of KOSB dead that day.
    EDIT: Found it.
    7th King's Own Scottish Borderers
    Unfortunately a disaster befell the Battalion in the early hours of the 4th April 1944, during an exercise codenamed Dreme, when a Stirling towing a Horsa carrying No.3 Platoon hit a tree on high ground and crashed, killing all aboard. 26 Borderers were killed, together with 6 RAF personnel and 2 glider pilots.
