Capt. Michael Jackson
British Army 7th Bty. 1st Searchlight Regiment Royal Artillery
from:Yeovil, Somerset
(d.25th Feb 1945)
My paternal grandfather was Capt. Michael Jackson of the 1st Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery who was killed in action during WW2 on 25th Feb 1945 age 32 and is buried in Schoonselhof Cemetery, Belgium.
All I know is from my father that he was blown up whilst stationed at or in a castle in Belgium and his body was found floating in the castle moat.
From preliminary internet searches I understand that his regiment was deployed to Brasschaat and he was killed by a V1 rocket.
