In February, 1945, Operation Blockbuster would take the Allied brigades into the Hochwald Forest across the Dutch-German border.
On February 24, Company Sergeant Major Duncan Campbell who was 44 years old was killed when his jeep struck a landmine near Udem, Germany. He had voluntarily taken the task of driving a supply jeep across dangerous terrain so the needed ammunition and food rations could be delivered to Canadian troops on the front line, according to the regiment’s history book. “The whole Battalion felt the loss of this indomitable soldier.”
