Pte C. Ausell Previous Next Wounded In 1944-45 Share Pte C. Ausell Service No. 14438416 Company: Researching Original Regiment joined- (Based on their Service No). Researching Date Wounded: Friday, 02 March 1945 Details of wounds - (Based on War Diary etc.) Researching Location (from War Diary) GOCH, Germany Researching 1st KOSB War Diary for date of wounds In the morning 9 Bde started an attack from the area 975386 with WINNEKENDONK as the final objective. The Bn crossed the start line - the road SOUTH WEST from RENNINGSHOF 978387 - at 0715 and by 1000 hrs the leading coys were on the final objective - on the Right A Coy in area of REYSHOF 979371, and on the Left B Coy at 984379. Shortly afterwards 2 RUR passed through and by 1400 hrs had secured their objective of the main road running NORTH-SOUTH in the area 993364. At about 1600 hrs the Bn passed through 2 RUR in Kangaroos and had cleared the wood up to the Southernmost edge at 002354 by 1700 hrs with no opposition except for a certain amount of mortar and shell fire. The Comd Offr went forward to plan for the attack on BRUCH and RAHMEHOF in area 3360. The attack was laid on for 1830 hrs with one Sqn of Churchill tanks, but had to be postponed as 2 LINCOLNS had arranged all the arty support for their attack on WINNEKENDONK. The enemy must have seen some of the forward troops on the edge of the wood and heard the tanks as he shelled and mortared the SOUTHERN half of the wood fairly heavily till dusk. The tanks and Kangaroos withdrew to the NORTH of the wood. At 2115 a concentration was laid on BRUCH and RAHMEHOF, and A and B Coys moved up to the forward edge of the wood taking over C and D Coys positions. At 2130 C and D Coys attacked RAHMEHOF and BRUCH respectively and in silence. Both coys achieved total surprise and captured several prisoners. *In the morning the positions were visited by several enemy who were unaware of the situation.

H hour for operation "PLUNDER", which was the crossing of the RHINE and the breakthrough into Central GERMANY, was 2100 hrs. The CB programme was fired from 1900 to 2000 hrs. The answering fire was light. At 2000 the 51 (H) Div passed through us, crossing the RHINE at 2030 hrs in buffaloes and amphibious craft, aided by searchlights on General Grant tanks, and with a terrific barrage. There was a little shelling and some mortaring on the forward coys and especially on the Ferry House 075514, and an enemy aircraft dropped three bombs in that area at 2245 hrs.

Morrison David Lance Corporal Rank in Normandy 3188786 Service No. Researching Company Grandfather of Richard Grayling. David Morrison was born in Hawick, Scotland on April 29th 1923. He lived in Allars Bank in Hawick and would probably have attended Hawick High School. From the documents I have, he joined the 1st Bttn KOSB in around 1937 as a 'boy soldier'. He married my Grandma, Lillian Edna Thompson in 1943 in Inverness. *Fellow 1st KOSB piper, James Adamson was his best man. David served with the KOSB through Normandy, Belgium, Holland and into Bremen in Germany. He played the pipes at the funeral of a US Airman who was shot by the SS near La Chappelle Au Moine. He also went to Egypt, Gibraltar and Palestine after the war and finally left the Army in 1950 and moved to Hull, East Yorkshire. David had 3 children and worked as an insurance salesman after the war for the COOP. He helped form the City of Hull Pipe Band and then the CRS (Cooperative Retail Society) Pipe Band in the 80s. He played the pipes all over and was a regular on New Year's Eve and at weddings in the town. (He played at Judo champion Karen Briggs' wedding back in the day). He rarely spoke of the war and I can only recall a couple of things he said. Of Normandy he said, 'we were bitten to death by ruddy midges (mosquitoes) and pounded by Moaning Minnies constantly' (German Nebelwerfer rocket launchers). He told me his best mate was killed when he went back to his dugout for his hat and a mortar bomb landed on it, killing him instantly. He fought the SS and Hitler Youth and said they were young but very vicious. He rated 'Rennie' and Monty as officers and had a lot of respect for the Canadians. He showed me the scars on his back that he still had in the 80s where he'd been forced to take cover when RAF Typhoons strafed them. Fellow 1st KOSB soldier, Joe Hunt joined the regiment the day after. The photographs of 1st KOSB sequestered in Denmead/New Forest prior to the landings were taken on 29th April 1944, his 21st birthday! I keep looking out for him in them. He played the pipes for Monty when he came to their HQ in Germany after the War. Obviously, Grandad was more than 'just' a soldier. He was fiercely proud of Scotland and never lost his 'lilt'. He boxed when he was in the Army and always stayed in shape. He played the bagpipes until his 'wind' gave out and he invested in an electronic chanter. He was learning new tunes until the day he died, and practising the old favourites constantly. He taught me to play the pipes in a no-nonsense way and berated me for not practising EVERY day :-) He had 3 Grandchildren when he died in 2004 and would have found out about my first son being born if he'd waited a month or two longer. Ah well. CoopPipeBandHull_DMorrison.jpg 1/25 Previous Special Mention Share Next Special Mention
