Thanx alot for the info! unfortunately I was not able to check the info here earlier for own sad family details.
Hi Tom, If your Dad took that Photo of Pip Roberts, he must have been in Schleswig too, any more informations?you can phone me 00494331 448855 I have many Photzos of the 29th armoured Brig.
Hi, I can see that this is an old thread but I found it whilst I was doing some research in to a book that I recently found amongst some other bits that I inherited from my dad. Thought it might of some interest here. Book is called Normandy to the Baltic and was once owned by LG Pip Roberts. Photos attached !
I don't think Pip Roberts owned it. Rather L Oliver of the RAMC did & just wrote all the other stuff too.
BBR (Black Bull Research) team. *****CALLING ALL MEMBERS OF OUR GROUP WITH ACCESS TO GENEALOGY SITES***** We have reached the milestone of locating 200 of the potential 1915 photographs of the Fallen of The 11th Armoured Division. Always seeking alternative methods of locating more photographs. Recently, Cheryl Stannard, a supporter of my ongoing project, quickly located 3 photographs, with only limited research time, using one of the major genealogy sites. She did so by searching for soldiers (hopefully with photographs attached) within existing family trees. I AM SEEKING GROUP MEMBERS WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO CARRY OUT FURTHER SEARCHES. PERHAPS YOU MIGHT LIKE TO SEARCH A REGIMENT THAT YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN? If you declare an interest to me I could ensure that there is no overlap in the research. You can work at your own pace, devoting whatever time you can spare. No pressure whatsoever. The 11th Armoured Division Roll of Honour, compiled by Billy LEBLOND, contains details of all 1915 men who died from D-Day 6-6-1944 to 8-5-1945. Individual Regiments / Battalions / Corps / Squadrons etc can be viewed in date of death order. The link to the Roll of Honour is 11th Armoured Division - ROLL OF HONOUR With regard to the photographs already found, my latest posts within our group will always carry up to date lists. I split them into 2 groups: Normandy Campaign 6-6-44 to 31-8-44 and post Normandy Campaign 1-9-44 to 8-5-45. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS REQUEST SERIOUSLY AND MESSAGE ME IF YOU ARE PREPARED TO HELP, DECLARING A PREFERENCE TO A PARTICULAR REGIMENT IF YOU HAVE ONE. I am very committed to this ongoing project. Photograph No.1 out of the 200 is of my uncle Joseph Alfred Curtis (attached). 77 years after the event I find it very fitting and worthwhile to be able to reveal the human faces behind the statistics, and to ensure that the photographs of these heroes are contained in a collection that can be viewed by all of us. I HOPE THAT THERE ARE GROUP MEMBERS WHO SHARE MY ENTHUSIASM, AND TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE SERIOUS INROADS INTO FINDING THE POTENTIAL 1715 PHOTOGRAPHS NOT YET FOUND. THANK YOU.
