I believe I know who you are referring to. If I am not mistaken, he is also located in Texas. I made a scan of the Regimental History of 2nd HAA Regt some time ago and e-mailed a copy to him. He in turn sent me some interesting info, including the film clip of Vickie.
He wrote the following in one of his e-mails:
“Don’t remember whether I mentioned it but I also have a gunners account of 3.7"s engaging Tigers outside of Nijmegan in 1944. (Successful shoot with AP)”
