He was part of the 621ST Field Sqn. Royal Engineers  7th armored division "Desert Rats".
He was killed on January 17, 1945, near the bridge that his unit was building over the Vloed Graaf between Baakhoven and Dieteren.
He had already served in North Africa and Italy, so he could rightly call himself a real 'Desert Rat'.
