Tony B Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Will have a look, I know motorcycles were taken over. I'll look up the types and numbers in Mark lamerton's Liberated by force 135, that's the bible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 369 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 thanks for that I have tried the mark lamerton book but what I am really after is pics to check on position etc of tank markings,I spoke to mark but he could not find any good pics but promised to keep looking so when I was in Jersey in may I went to the war tunnels and went through thier records but could only find pics showing the wrong angle or just to poor quality to help,also a friend is looking for details of cmp trucks taken by 135 cheers Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 no problem at all what are you looking for in the archives ?because if it is military I found the man at the underground hospital research centre most obliging when I was looking for pictures of force 135 vehicles Nigel Any chance of a contact detail for this man? I have found out that force 135 had a Ford WOA2, as one partly appears in a photo in a magazine I found once. Just wondering if there are any more photos of the vehicle.

Tony B Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 http://www.greatwarci.net/ http://www.jerseywartunnels.com/ Have a nose at these links. the first one was given to me by the archives. I know thw site of the POW camp, near St Quen's pond. first time I've seen details though. There were some brick building foundations left.

Rick W Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Tony, can you keep your eye open for any Morris C8 and brit jeep pics. Looking to mark up the vehicles, be good if I could mark up as a liberation vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I did post a picture of a captured C8 on one post some time back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford 369 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 as you say Tony panzer abt 213 were the only panzer battalion never to fire a shot in anger although when it arrived in Jersey in march 1942 it was mainly made up of young new recruits but did contain some seasoned veterans and as the war progressed many of the younger recruits were transfered to fight elsewhere Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
