Claude's
son, Terry, is looking for information on his father, Claude
Anderson Jnr, who was in the Army in 1945. He married Terry's
mother, Alice Walton, after the war. Although Terry does not
know where his father was stationed, he knows he did go to
Germany and possibly was shot in the leg. He may have received
a purple heart. Claude lived in Rice Virginia, Prince Edward
County and is buried in an Army cemetery in Ohio. Claude's
father's name was Claude also and his mother was Gertrude.
Please drop me a line if you can help Terry in his search.

HMS
Artic Hunter
Andrew
contacted me to say he was very interested to read the story
of the rescue of the Royal Dutch Family. "It was very
fascinating and gives an excellent insight to the bravery
of all those involved." Andrew is researching his family
tree and therefore has particular interest in the rescue.
His
great uncle, George Moore,
served as skipper on HMS Artic Hunter, a trawler commissioned
as a minesweeper during the War. He was awarded the Distinguished
Service Cross (DSC) for his service. Apparently, Andrew's
grandfather had once said that this award was given for George's
part in helping the Dutch Royal Family leave Holland.
Andrew
would be interested if anyone could confirm whether this ship
was part of the fleet that was involved in the evacuation.
If
you can help with further information, please email Andrew

Ronald
Atkinson
Matthew
is researching a relative of his who served with A Coy, 217
Field Ambulance RAMC from 1940 - 1944. His name was Private
Ronald Atkinson RAMC and he was badly wounded on the 31st
May 1944. He died of wounds on the 7th June 1944. It is believed
that his Ambulance Jeep hit a mine. Having read the account
by Harry Matheison of his time with 217 Field Ambulance RAMC,
Matthew wondered if he would be able to shed any light on
this matter or if he maybe knew him.
Matthew
is currently serving in the RAMC and is researching this for
personal interest. He also hopes to write an article for the
RAMC Journal on this subject and any information would be
greatly appreciated.
Matthew
also sent a photo of Ron. He is in the centre. Click here
