The Belgians S.A.S. Parachutists LIMBOSCH Freddy KIA
LIMBOSCH Freddy, 10413, Lt - September, 8, 1944 in Peer (Belgium)
Officer of an exceptional merit. Already awarded on the Day Orders for his participation in the operations in Normandy. Hardly returned to England after his operations in France, he went again on September 5 to be parachuted in Belgian Limbourg with a combat group, behind the enemy lines. Of a common courage and a physical energy, he led his men to the harassing of the enemy.
September 8, noting that the enemy made go up in line powerful reinforcements, he decided to inform the Allied Command. He sent two soldiers to try to join the British lines. New developments being produced a little later he decided to inform himself the Allied Command, and left with a guide in full day, trying to cross the German lines. Being run up against an organized position, he tried to avoid it. Discovered, he decided to clear a passage by shots. Wounded during this attack and chased by the enemy, he lost the distance; about to be joined, he refused to surrender. He held the enemy in respect until the moment when, emptying his last charger, he fell, reaches by a gust of machine-gun in full heart.
