Enigma

Oddball was taking a picture of my truck (said he wanted to keep a picture of it in his wallet) but that old Land Rover thing just got in the way :cry:

 

Are you sure its a Land Rover? I thought it was a Champ :rofl:

When you hear;

"what is your answer" don't forget to say "I do"...and resist the urge to run an scream :shocking:

Here a few of the soldiers who fought in Den Bosch.

We know them personally because we attend the commemorations with them.

We even accompany them to the Cemetary to pay respect to the fallen.

Mr. Davies

Welch Regiment.

Mr. Atkinson

I call him and his wife granddad and grandma.

In the book about the Battle of Den Bosch we found a photo (oct 1944) where we recognised Mr. Atkinson, he hasn't changed much!

East Lancashire (first in the city)

Wow, that's some serious material!

Apparently 6 veterans want to parajump this year!!! About 82-87 years old! :bow:

Aha, I've seen photo's of a Panther in the Ardennes (battle of the Bulge) with the wheels of a Tiger!!

I thought it was strange but can this have been a prototype?

I don’t know if you guys would be interested but our WWII radio page has now been updated, with a choice of five 1 hour broadcasts to listen to while surfing the forums.

Please let us know if you have any problems with it as it’s a bit experimental at the moment :? .

More radio stations coming soon .

lets punish Borat for spilling the beans... :argh:

Run over him with a tank and then use him as a wellcomemat at the door...

I go with Brit or British, can't go wrong there (I hope)

Cool pics!

I'd like to go do the Winterrally in the Ardennes like I did 3 times before.

Howevet I'd have to sell the WC21 first so I can buy a Command Car.

Called a Scto a Englishman.

He wasn't happy but understood the mistake...

My brother has just bought it over the internet!

He didn't know about the book and he has loooooooots of military books..

That's the one, I always thought dragon would have been a more suitable name. :-D

Incidentally I've just remembered the author's name, Wilson and I think the christian name is Andrew.

 

Andrew Wilson used the flame tank in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch) in the Netherlands.

I live nearby that town.

Would they be pink handcuffs with the golden rivet :? :evil:

 

Really don't wanna know where you got that info from...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: and then the sailor comes along :flower:

 

That's a disturbing idea, let's hope there is a Policeman around :rofl:

Only if you are dislexic :?

 

Nope, phonetically almost the same.

That is if you Pronounce Deutschland correctly (In German offcourse.)

I am Tri-lingual so I know this for a fact.

Bachelor party? :shocking:

Handcuffed naked to a lamppost painted as the 6th member of the Village People I'm afraid... :naughty:

Best of luck......

Just watched the vids and pics.

Thanks for sharing!

They are finally going home.

rest in peace guys...

I like the word Dutchland :-D

 

:argh: Sounds like Deutschland...

Enigma,............

 

THANK YOU,...for sharing this history, with us;

and please pass on MY THANKS to Mr Surrey for allowing us to have a glimpse into his life.

Is the book 'Able Four has Casualties', available; ? (would be interesting to read,)

 

 

Again, Cheers.

 

Andy

 

Thanks for your kind words, I've given the link to this forum to Mr. Surrey so there is a good chance he'll see the reply's.

The booklet "A4 has casualties" is only a copied document.

Here a website with some info about the patrol and monument.

http://www.simonides.org/~recce43rd/page4.html

The monument is very near where I live and we (my brother, his kids and me attend the annual commemoration there on our wardead remembrance day (May 4).

I've done some additional research using old maps and photo's to try to correlate Mr. Surrey's memories of the layout and events which occured there.

25000GBP?
