Pte. George Crage

British Army 2nd Btn. Devonshire Regiment

from:Wollaston, Staffordshire

(d.4th October 1944)

George Crage is my Uncle George. My mother had always thought he had died at Dunkirk. I decided to search for his records Nov 2016 and I had found his service number, Regiment, Battalion and date of death within 10 minutes. Including a photo of his name on the wall at the Groesbeek Memorialin, The Netherlands, where it is understood, that he played a part in Operation Market Garden, fighting to consolidate the Eindhoven corridor through which XXX Corps would pass on their way to the bridges at Nijmegen and Arnhem. October 1944, he spent defending The Island, the low-lying polderland between Arnhem and Nijmegen against a German thrust south - where he lost his life.
