At Reichswald Forest, did you miss Brigadier W. A. Sheil, C.B.E., D.S.O. and Bar? I couldn't find his headstone in the list in alphabetical order. I have a photo of it, if it isn't there already.

He was C.R.A., 51st Division, having fought with them from El Alamein to Sicily, and from Normandy to Bremen. He died on 29th April, 1945, when his jeep went over a mine.

Hi Belville,

I ran out of time and still have about 60 photos left to take, W.A. Sheil being one of them. If you can post his headstone photo, that'll be great.

Cheers - Rob

 

Thank you for this Drew - My grandad Peter M Richards
