Sorry Henk..... Woods is not listed in the Book of Remembrance….. I have sent them a note on Park and Woods who are missing to get the forms etc. to have them added.....

Thank you for those posts Mike

I can add that he was wounded at around 3 p.m and died just after midnight. He was shot with a dum-dum bullet , which resulted in a severe wound, making recovery impossible.
