Notes

"After La caverie I had no tank left except a 17 pounder with Sgt. Jackson as Cpl. Harvey's and mine had "brewed up". We had lost two killed and two in my own, Cpl. Hull and Tpr. Nosworthy, were wounded. I had to wait in 'A' echelon to re-form."

Captain John Theodore Cooper Steinhart, C Squadron.

Reginald is on the list of those who attended the 23H reunion in 1959. His grave is notable for bearing the insignia of the 23rd Hussars.
