Winnies Rifles
I still haven't found the papers yet, tidiness is the first sign of a warped mind. But I remember that the RWR advanced farther than their armour cover and were badly mauled by a Panzer group, I believe SS in the next day or so. Seems to me they were removed from the line as they were decimated and no longer a combat effective unit.
The letter I have a copy of did state that " so few of the boys are left " that they couldn't find anyone left alive who saw Ralph die, but a couple who had heard 2nd hand.
