Sorry : the capture is wrong: the 49th Infantry (The West Riding) division was very much a British Army formation. It was placed under Canadian command though during the liberation of the Netherlands. The division had the honour of liberating Arnhem after fighting with the German occupation forces who defended the empty city fiercely knowing full well the next city in for the fight was in thir homeland. The confusion regarding the 49th. was most likely not helped because they were generally known as the polar bears - see the divisional symbol - adopted after their time spend during 1940/41 as the defenders of Iceland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/49th_(West_Riding)_Infantry_Division

More likely to be Worlledge on the box? I couldn't find any Horlledges on Google, only Worlledges- but not a J.M., unfortunately!

There's a Major J.P.G. Worlledge here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MI8 who might fit the bill?

Mike Brilliant if it is Worlledge, but just looked again at ginormous scan of this glass plate and it looks as if it starts with a H (unprompted colleague said the same...).
Mike said:
National Library of Ireland on The Commons If it's an H, then the two uprights ARE parallel to the slope of the rest of the letters in his name- but I think I can make out the faint trace of the first line of a W!? Any mention of Horlledge I have found on Google, is in connection with a mis-spelling or reading of Worlledge.
