Several years back, someone posted some scanned pages of "Rots 11th. June 1944 by Roy Harris". Unfortunately, at least one page was missing as the account ends mid-sentence, just after describing how some of B Troop were captured in a cornfield after Panzer tanks opened fire at them at close range. My father was in that group of unfortunate commandos, and I would like to see the rest of Roy's account.

Does anyone have Roy's full account?

Someone has now kindly emailed me the missing page from Roy Harris's account of his capture at Rots.

ps Mark, Roy was actually in the 46RMC, B Troop, along with my father. So he didn't need to go and find source material, he just had to close his eyes and remember.
