Hi Temujin,

thank you for posting the February 1945 nominal roll of 1 CPB. I looked for a soldier called H A Bezo - but I cannot find him on that list. Did 1 CPB receice replacements after February 1945? I suppose that Bezo saw action and jumped into combat on March 24th, 1945. Why? Because in the early 1980s I found his Sykes-Fairbairn commando knife on the former "Varsity"-battlefield i.e. LZ A near the hamlet of Bergerfurth, where I grew up. Here's my story about Bezo:

In 1995, for the 50th anniversary of "Varsity" I met tow Canadians who later sent me these photos - supposed to show Bezo:

I’m sorry, I don’t have nominal rolls for those months

My Uncle was V.W. Hodge under HQ Company in the Nominal Roll. Was wondering if anyone knows what the role was of HQ company was during this time in the battalion. Any info would be appreciated. He was originally under B Company.

Thank you for the nominal rolls. They are very helpful. I have another question. Ive been going threw my uncles service records and the abbreviations on them are not very clear to me. Also, the dates seem to be out of order. Im hoping someone could shed light on this. The war diary says that new reinforcements became available on Nov.12th 1943. I was wondering if my uncle could have been one of them although i thought he already belonged to the battalion. He was qualified as a paratrooper on Oct. 18th 1943.
