Corporal RONALD LEON HARDING Gunner JOHN DOUGLAS HARDING
Those we remember who died in the Second World War – Luttons Corporal RONALD LEON HARDING Gunner JOHN DOUGLAS HARDING We have put together the following information in an attempt to bring these soldiers to the front of our minds. Please accept our apologies our apologies for any inaccuracies, or missed information. We intend to expand this information over time, so do let us know if you have any further information which we can add to our work. In Memory of Corporal RONALD LEON HARDING 4747584, The Hallamshire Bn., York and Lancaster Regiment who died age 25 on 07 September 1944 Son of Thomas Sewing Harding and Hannah Ewbank Harding, of Sheffield; husband of Winnie Harding, of Sheffield. Remembered with honour ST. DESIR WAR CEMETERY Commemorated in perpetuity by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Ronald Leon Harding Remembered In 1911, records show that Ronald Leon Harding’s grandparents and his Father (John Harding) lived in the Forge at West Lutton, and he is remembered, along with his brother, John Douglas, on their graves. At the time of the Second World War he, his parents and his wife were living in Sheffield – hence he joined the Hallamshire Battalion. The Hallamshire War Diary shows two entries which seem to relate to our Ronald Harding. It states that on 31st August 1944 the Battalion remained in rest at Vieus Port. During the afternoon of that day Captain Cowell and Corporal Harding were travelling in a Jeep which struck a mine. Both were seriously wounded. The diary shows that “Ronald Leon Harding, aged 25, died on 7th September.

B 5963 THE DRIVE ON CAEN | 1 Foreword by the Under Secretary of State for Defence and Minister for Veterans, Ivor Caplin MP In carrying out my responsibilities as Minister for Veterans, I have become aware of the importance of meeting the desire of the British people to find ways of expressing their feelings for those who fought – and in many cases gave their lives – during the Second World War. These booklets aim not only to remember and commemorate those who served, but also to inform future generations of their efforts and achievements. Their stories can only serve as an inspiration for those growing up now. I want new generations to be aware of the veterans’ sacrifices, and of the important contributions they made to our security and to the way of life we enjoy today. This, the fourth book in the series, commemorates the actions of Operations Perch, Epsom and Charnwood that led to the liberation of Caen on 9 July 1944. Caen, the ancient capital of Normandy, was a vital road and rail junction that the Allies needed to capture before they could advance south through the excellent tank country of the Falaise Plain.
