As you've mentioned Hilversum.
The Leicestershire Regiment suffered pretty badly at Hilversum on the 10th of May. From memory, whilst disarming the HG Division a 'Teller' was detonated in a pile of unexploded ordinance, 13 'Tigers' lost their lives.
Patrick De La Force - Polar Bears, Monty's left flank has some good pictures of the tragic incident.
Hope this helps.
Chris.
