ON THIS DAY IN ROYAL WELCH HISTORY
RWF Territorial battalions in the Reichswald, Germany, 1945
The 53rd (Welsh) Division with the 4th, 6th and 7th Battalions were involved in this bloody and bitter battle which was one of the most unpleasant of the Second World War. During it, the CO of the 7th Battalion, Lieut-Col Dickson, was killed. It took many days to clear the enemy from the forest and substantial casualties were suffered in the process.
