F/O. Aubrey Weston Ogden . Royal Air Force 78 Squadron from Inverell, NSW, Australia
|
Pte. Clifford Ogden . British Army 1st Btn. York & Lancaster Regiment On 28 January 1944, during World War II, the Orvieto North railway bridge at Allerona, Italy, was the site of the inadvertent bombing by the American 320th Bombardment Group of a train filled with Allied prisoners. Most of the POWs had come from Camp P.G. 54, Fara in Sabina, 35 kilometres to the north of Rome, and had been evacuated in anticipation of the Allied advance. One of the men on the train, Richard Morris of the U.S. Army, wrote that the train was halted on the bridge over the river when the Allied bombs started to fall, and that the German guards fled the train, leaving the prisoners locked inside. Many escaped, Morris included, through holes in the boxcars caused by the bombing, and jumped into the river below. Historian Iris Origo wrote that 450 were killed when the cars ultimately tumbled into the river.
Private Ogden was Captured at Garigliano. He survived the wreck with wounds to his left ear and left hand. He was then sent to Stalag 344 Lamsdorf.

Cpl John Ogilvie . British Army 10th Btn. Durham Light Infantry from Ayr John Ogilvie landed in Normandy on 12th of June 1944 after over 2 years training in England in Wales. Previously he served with 11th DLI in Iceland.
Jackie fought in the battles for Tilly-Sur-Seulles, Fontenay Le Pesnel and Rauray before the 10th moved east of Caen to occupy a chateau and set up camp. It was here, under daily intense fire, that dysentery hit and many soldiers were laid up with it, including Pvt Ogilvie. He was hospitalised and convalesced in the home of a French family. He was given daily doses of Champagne to replace his fluids and dielectric. (He was happy I guess). It was during this time that the 10th got a pasting and ended up being disbanded. John was transferred to the 130th Infantry Brigade and was wounded in action during house to house fighting in the village of Millingen as part of the crossing of the Rhine. He returned to the battlefront within a few weeks and served with the 9th DLI in Berlin until he was demobbed. He survived the war only to die of cancer in 1966. RIP.
