I have recently added a memorial cross group to my collection consisting of the 1939-45 Star, the France & Germany Star, the 1939-45 War Medal and a GVI memorial cross - no CVSM because this man was an NRMA soldier.
His records indicate he landed in the UK late Jan 1945 was sent 8 CITR and the next day to 7 CITR. He landed in NWE on 24 Mar, then to the HLI on 28 Mar 1945, wounded 31 Mar and died of his wounds on 22 Apr 1945. I wonder if anyone here might have the history of the HLI in WW2 and would look up their situation on 31 March 1945?
Also what was 7 CITR or 8 CITR???
Thanks Ed
