Sergeant Douglas Sowerby & the Battle for Smakt | October 1944

In October 1944, the 4th Battalion, King's Shropshire Light Infantry successfully cleared a patch of woodland just East of the town of Overloon in the Netherlands. After holding this sector for a day, the Battalion began to handover its positions to another unit, preparatory to transfering to a new part of the front-line. However, during this handover, the Shropshire's came under heavy German Artillery fire, during which Sergeant Douglas Sowerby would display extraordinary bravery that would lead to him being awarded the Military Medal. ------------------------------ *NO PART OF THIS VIDEO MAY BE REPRODUCED IN ANY FORM (REACTIONS OR RE-UPLOADED) WITHOUT THE PRIOR PERMISSION OF THE CREATOR* ------------------------------ Want to support the Channel?
