229981 Charles Eagles British Army 9th Btn, S Coy. Durham Light Infantry I served with 'S' Company, 9th Btn. Durham Light Infantry from D-Day on. I was nicknamed "The Parson's Son" as I didn't drink or smoke. We lost 226 men and 22 officers in about 30 minutes on the 14th June at Lingevres. A small group of us survivors were taken prisoner by a German division of the Panzer Lehr, who in turn were surrounded by the Allies and surrendered to me and my fellow men. I am keen to get in touch with anyone who may remember me from my time with the Battalion, and later service in Germany after the Germans capitulated. I would also like to contact anyone who can remember this incident from the Scottish Regiment that we handed over the Germans to.
