Hi Joe.

Thanks for replying so quickly!

Sorry it won’t let me send PM’s.

I’m not too far away. I’m in Banbridge. I can call over someday to see it or if you have a scan of it you could send, I would really appreciate it!

Many thanks
Allister

I was a fourteen year old boy when my brother George ( guardsman Thomas George Clarke) was killed in action in 1944. George was in the second armoured battalion of the the Irish guards who were leading the assault across the Dutch border on the 17 September 1944 which was intended to link up with the airborne at Arnhem. George was killed when his tank was hit and set on fire on the road to Valkenswaard. In the cemetery at Valkenswaard there are six headstones bearing the Irish Guards logo and the inscription ‘a soldier of the second world war’and the date 17 th September 1944. We believe that George’s remains are in one of these six graves.

Our foundation, collects, preserves and educates the history of World War II in the vicinity of Valkenswaard en Aalst-Waalre, Holland.
At the moment my research is focused on the soldiers who are buried in the war cemetery of Valkenswaard and leopoldburg. These soldiers fought and died from the 10th till the  17th of september 1944, during the opening battles of operation Market Garden.
