Marine Benjamin Pry, Heavy Weapons Troop (HWT), died of wounds inflicted during operations against the German held small island of Kapelsche Veer which lies between the River Maas and the River Oudermaas. Son of Charles William and Susan Jane Pry, of Islington, London.

The HWT had been acting as as stretcher bearers on this raid. Marine Wildman, 47 RM Commando, is quoted in the book 'From Omaha to the Scheldt', that as he passed Marine Benny Pry who had been seriously injured, Marine Pry said to him " Mind where you're treading Fred, I think I've lost my feet." Marine Pry was evacuated but died from his wounds.
