Hi, I have my grandfather, Rifleman Robert McCall's service record, which shows that he arrived in North-West Germany on 10th Feb 1945. I know that he participated in the Battle of Alpon 8/9th March, but am trying to establish what his regiments movements were between arriving in Feb and what I assume was his first engagement at Alpon. He said that he was at Geilenkirchen but I don't know when, anyway to find out? I was wondering if someone might have access to the diaries and be kind enough to share, before going down the road of obtaining myself. Thank you.
Your Grandfather's service record is correct; have a look here ... 52nd (Lowland) Infantry Division - Wikipedia ... some info on the Lowland Div's participation in Operation Veritable: Kasteel Blitenbeek (or maybe Kasteel Bleijenbeek) & Gennep Castle
Thanks very much, even though I have his service records I cannot seem to find what company he was in, is there any alternative way to find that information? Cheers
