229572 Gnr. Edwin Warburton British Army 102 LLA Rgt. Royal Artillery from:Lancashire (d.24th Oct 1944) 36 year old Gunner Ewin Warburton was married to Doris Warburton and lived in Tyldesley, Lancashire. He served with 102nd LAA Regiment, RA, and played a part in the liberation of my home town, Hoogstraten on the Dutch/Belgian border, some 20 km south of Breda. The regiment was then operating in an infantry role in an ad hoc formation called Bobforce. This was organised to help out the 49th Infantry Division in holding an extensive frontline in October 1944. The 102 LAA even lost two men during an advance through the mine-infested area of Wortel-Kolonie, just to the east of Hoogstraten. They were Lieutenant Cyril John Le Rue and Gunner Ewin Warburton. Both were buried at the Leopoldsburg War Cemetery after the war. As I have been researching aspects of the 2nd World War for some 25 years now, I would very much appreciate learning more from your father's time in our area in the autumn of 1944 or from any other member of the regiment.
