Cftsmn. Cyril Bates
British Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers
from:Stoke on Trent
Cyril Bates joined the the Royal Army Ordnance Corps and transferred to the REME. One of the things he did mention was that one day they were working on a tank recovery and there was a raid. He took cover behind a wall and his friends took cover under or near the tank. He survived, but his friends were killed. I have not identified the incident yet, but at the Forli War Cemetery in Italy there are listed eight REME personnel who died on 10th of December 1944.
