Operation Market Garden Capture Nazi Hi-Power

[Gil Boyd]

For histories sake, and from one who cares about facts concerning brave men, I felt it important to place this soldiers details on the site in answer to Johns initial post, as one of the bravest of the brave against overwhelming odds. I have given John as much as we can on his service and repatriation.

He was a Private 6853688 G.G. MARKS of HQ Company, 1 PARA number 6630 on the operational Chalk list. Sadly the rest of the story concerning the pistol remains with the man himself, or until further information comes forward, but as records on such pieces becomes more accessible, I am sure something will surface in time.
