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:

Hi Temujin,
Can you post a nominal roll from June or May of 45?

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