    It is great to see a forum that is for the 7th (L.I) Btn Parachute Regiment, I have read with much zest all the posts and thought it would be right to add something I would like help on if you can please.....

    I am trying to get hold of any information on my own Father who also served with the Battalion. Private Arthur (Timber) Wood 14002827 No 2 Platoon "A" Company.
    He was wounded January 1945 at a place called Wavrille in the Belgian Ardennes, he had the lower part of his right leg blown off by a land mine. This of course ended his Airborne career, but all of his life he was a Para through and through. Alas he died after a long battle with Renal failiure in 1982 aged 54, so I didn't get to ask the questions I needed to unfortunately.
    Can anyone help with information, or photos. Can Michael give me any assistance as to his wounding and service with the Battalion??
    I can be reached directly on my email geoff.wood@sunwin.co.uk

    Many, many Thanks, keep up the good work and history of the "lost Battalion"
    Cheers Geoff
