Mark Ellis Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I know that the website british-army-units1945on.co.uk/ might not have been 100% accurate, but it was still a damn good resource.But it's now off line, and I wonder if anyone knows who owned it and was compiling that information.It would be a shame to lose that resource, and I'd like to help revive it.I did email them in 2018, and never got a response. But know that they did change hosting providers which could explain that.I've reached out to the current Domain and web host, asking that they pass a message on.So if anyone knows who was doing this website then please do give me a shoutMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted on his Facebook wall yesterday, saying that I'd left a message about the website. It's interesting that he has a deceased friend, who has the same name as the guy who originally set the website up. This being why I left a message and then posted on his wall.

fv1609 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 If I'm thinking of the right Merlin Jones, I saw him with his family at Capel last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferret1958uk Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 It is my website. I missed the renewal on the domain name, so will try to sort that out. The site is still hosted, so once the domain is renewed it should be up and running again. The site was hosted by me just before Alan Young passed away suddenly. It has not been updated with any details since 2015, although some pages have been amended and updated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
