Sid Gueran

Later career and death On the outbreak of World War II, Gueran enlisted in the Royal Engineers as a sapper attached to the 1st Parachute Squadron. He took part in the North African Campaign and the Italian campaign, and was killed on the second day of the Battle of Arnhem near the Arnhem road bridge while inside the Van Limburg Stirum School. An account of his death was presented in the book Arnhem 1944: The Human Tragedy of the Bridge Too Far, told by Gueran's platoon leader, Lance-Sergeant Harold Padfield.

He is commemorated on the Groesbeek Memorial in the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery.

Note In all three of his first-team appearances for Southampton, Gueran played in front of defender Charlie Sillett, who was also killed on active service, in a U-boat attack on an allied convoy while serving with the Royal Navy in 1945.
