vori101,

Thank you so much for a most informative document. I like to read and re-read everything so that it sinks in better. I am very pleased with the response I have had from members of this forum. Reading that report has brought my uncle's war involvement into a much more concentrated area. I am now thoroughly convinced that it largely took place on a triangle from St Floris----St Venant---Canal.

I expect to contact you again when I have news of the Farm Boulet location. Thanks again, Tony.

vori, thanks once again for taking the time to help with my search. I'll give this one a go too. The more irons in the fire the better. Tony

John, I've registered with two of these but after quite some time, I am unable to find a space to submit a new thread. I'll go on trying all night, there must be a way to do it. The third one keeps rejecting my attempts to log in, saying that my account has been de-activated. I'll try that one again too. Thanks, Tony

John, I have managed to get a thread on the passion-histoire site after a monumental struggle. After half an hour, suddenly a space appeared into which I uploaded my post. The 39-45 site makes Mastermind look like a game of I-Spy. I've spent a good half an hour on it but did not find anywhere to post a query. Even the 'technical help' has not got any means of contacting the helper. Nevertheless, I'll have another try later. Thanks, Tony

hi all.
just found this.

may be of interest.

there is a reason for my interest in this. My father was BEF, at the age of 21 he was R.C.S. apparently working from a M/C sidecar. he was attached to the 59th medium R.A. (west Lancs )rgt. so i hope that i might come across some ref to his unit. well you never know.
