We read about him on the link below: “there were three S-casemates with a light machine gun. One of them near the church, an intersection of railway lines and the road to Valkenburg. German tanks moved west on this road. They stopped because of the roadblock. The fire was opened on the German soldiers, but armored vehicles and tanks opened fire on the casemate, with a hit in a loop hole killing the soldier Mirck and injuring another one.” More in our story Resistance in Valkenburg http://www.maaslinie-mei1940.nl/index.php?page=mirck-e-l
