I am trying to find out about my First Cousin Once Removed. Sadly he was killed on 30 Oct 1944 and is buried in the Bergen-Op-Zoom Commonwealth War Cemetery in the Netherlands. He was a Private in the 7th Bn, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders at the time of his death.
From deduction (location, date, Regt) I think that he was most likely killed during Operation Vitality II, a part of the Battle of the Scheldt. From what I have gleaned so far the 51st (Lowland) Division was attached to the Canadian forces to secure the Scheldt Estuary and clear a sea supply line into Antwerp. Around 30 Oct, the day he died, the British and Canadian forces were meeting up around the town of Goes.
But, that is all the information I have, quite sketchy

Does anyone have a decent account, source of information, etc, about either the 51st (Lowland) Division involvement during this period or about the Op/Battle itself? Trying to get a better understanding of what he was involved in and, if possible, the likely location and cause of his death.
Thanks
Ian
