Although seen as a primarily American campaign, 25 miles north of Aachen is Geilenkirchen near the Dutch/German border. In November after the city of Aachen had fallen to US forces, Operation Clipper was launched. It was an Allied offensive by the British XXX Corps (including the US 84th Infantry Division) to reduce the Geilenkirchen salient. One of the dramatic stories from this offensive occurred in Hatterath in a wooded area known to this day as Dorset Wood. Christopher Jary returns to talk about the men involved.
