Re: A ?? RE: Don Burgett's Memoirs:

Found it. Chapter Seven, first page. Attack by the Duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry 5th Battalion, 6th October. The date places it long past the Market-Garden battle & location was adjacent to the village of Opheusden. Burgetts company or battalion was attacking through the village & the Brits had to attack across the adjacent fields. He describes the Brits walking into the attack in a "skirmisher" formation firing their Enfield rifles from the hip.

If we get any others with info on this I'll toss in the very few other details. Be interesting to see if there is any at all collaboration of Burgetts account.
