11th Armoured Brigade Bulldozer driver at Belsen More

71 LAA. 210 Battery

55 Searchlight Regt RA: 113th LAA Enlistment Date: 00/01/1900

63rd Anti-tank regiment. He was in the Oxfordshire Yeomanry which became the 63rd anti-tank regiment. I know he was among those who liberated Belsen, but I don’t know any more details than that. We used to have a Belsen Report which he brought back from there, but unfortunately we can’t find it now. His name was Gerald Vigors De Courcy O’Grady and I think he may have been a Major in 1944. He later become a Lt Col.
