Sgt. David John Neilson
British Army 53rd Welsh Div Reconnaissance
from:Glasgow
My grandfather Dai Neilson fought in the 2nd World War as part of the 53rd Welsh Reconnaissance division.
I have his beret, bearing the spearhead badge. I also have a SS dagger taken from a soldier during the liberation of a camp later in the war.
I know he was active in the liberation of S'Hertogenbosch and have a script given by the city as thanks for his involvement.
