Hello Philp,

The site looks good so far. Do you have any plans to scan the Regimental histories and make then available on you site as pdf files or another format?

John

[Philp]

No, John I will stick to the parts that took place in the netherlands, scanning the Regt Histories, would take a lot of time,and will cover the whole period. And I still have loads of information lying around to put on the site, and still have to visit the MA in Kew for lots more WDs

Ron Barber has a neice living in my village. I will ask her if she has any info. I have a letter from Ron saying that his carrier was called "D" Dog.He also gave me a picture of it carrying a horse shoe on the front. This horseshoe was tacked over the door of his garden shed post war.He was also a fair artist and had a sketchbook of his travels through NW Europe. Sadly on his death they dissapeared. But I will see Anthea and find out more. John

I have found a picture of Ron and his carrier and a letter from him,
