195 Air Landing Field Ambulance RAMC
I'm researching the actions that the 195 Air Landing Field Ambulance RAMC took part in during D- Day and the equipment that they carried with them whether they went over by glider or by boat. Hope somebody can assist me, Simon Cooper RAMC195@aol.com

2nd Light Anti-Aircraft Battery, RA

My grandfather was in the unit from its formation in 1943 and served in Normandy from the 6th June 1944 till he was wounded quite severly in late august. My grandfather never returned to the unit and was demobbed in 1945. If you have any pics or information regarding the unit I would myself be very interested as there seems to be very little concerning the unit. Gareth Hill, garthbtp@yahoo.co.uk

6th Airborne Division, January - February 1945

I'm researching a little forgotten war history of the 6th Airborne, they served a little time Jan 1945 till Feb 1945 in Holland at the River Maas, and did several actions in the Venlo-Roermond-Weert region. I'm very interesting in what happened then, could a veteran help me? Jeroen Peeters, Helden, Netherlands. linda.jeroen@home.nl

6th Airborne Division Veterans

I am a 19 years old student residing in Normandy. I am interested in the history of the Second World War, precisely with the period of the landing on June 6, 1944. Having examinations during the period of the commemorations, I could not alas get in touch with the veterans of the D-DAY in order to know much better what they did on the ground of my native area. It is important for me to create a relation with these heroes so that they won't sink in oblivion. I would welcome contact with veterans of the 6th Airborne Division. Such letters, from them, would be a real treasure for me! daufresne@msn.com

Airborne Insignia

As a collector of Airborne Military insignia, I recently came across this interesting frame with Airborne Glider Badges enclosed. It is in my mind an interesting & wonderful piece of WW2 art. My question though is: Would this be the insignia worn by a Glider Borne member of the 12th Battalion The Devonshire Regiment, 6th Airborne Division? Any information on the insignia would be much appreciated. Ian Williams, ian504@googlemail.com
