At the time in early January 1945 that you are interested in, the battalion HQ was at Oostrum in Holland. Several skirmishes with German forces are reported but I'm not seeing any mentions of soldiers missing on a first read through from 1 December 1944 to 6 January 1945.

Thank Shaun
I am looking for the whereabouts of the 1st Btn relating to a POW who was reported missing on 6th Jan. 1945.
