Sgt. John Henry Perry
107 (The South Nottinghamshire Hussars) Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery
He was killed in action, seriously wounded and died shortly afterwards as a result of his injuries on the first day of Operation Veritable, the capture of the Reichswald, the area between the Rhine and Meuse rivers in the Nijmegen-Kleve-Gogh triangle, near Asperden on the Dutch-German border.
The cause was probably the explosion of ammunition supplies at an artillery battery.
He was taken to a hospital in the Generaal de Bonskazerne in Grave and temporarily buried at this barracks.
He was reburied in the summer of 1946 at the British War Cemetery in Uden.
