Just a reminder to everyone about the area of the RWF Forum called THE VAULT.http://www.rwf-forum.co.uk/vBulletin/vbarticles.php?
If you haven't looked inside there before, its basically an on-line repository for any RWF related documents that are of interest to members. Its a longterm project, and members are encouraged to have a look through, and if they can contribute, even better. So far we have the following categories:
War Diaries(I will be adding the 1st Bn's Dunkirk Diary in June).
Obituaries
Ddraig Goch Articles
RWF Graves
Service Records
WW2 Decorations
WW2 Roll of Honour
Medal Citations and information
Documents of interest
If you have anything of interest that you would like to contribute, make a decent scan, and upload it. If the document contains printed text, such as Y Ddraig Goch, try using the OCR setting on your scanner, so that the scan reads the text and allows us to edit it if required.
Any questions fire away
Finally, here's an example of the quality of some of the items. This article scanned using OCR was provided and written by the Late Jon Latimer RWF. It is a sobering account of one very long day for 1RWF at Donbaik in March 1943.
