Pte. Louis Katzovitz
British Army 56th Reconnaissance Regiment
from:London
Unfortunately, my dad Lou Katzovitz died when I was in my twenties and hadn't really matured enough to be interested in his war history. Now I would love to hear from him how his war went.
He drove a small armoured vehicle (a greyhound?) whilst with the First and Eighth Army and the 56th Reconaissance Regiment and was a radio operator.
I think he trained on the Isle of Wight for a short time and then went to North Africa (he mentioned Sousse and Hammamet) then Sicily and then Italy (Monte Cassino) through to Austria (Brenner Pass/Heiligenblut?) at the end of the war.
