Well - that would be an exciting coincidence that confirms my assumptions made so far. I cannot tell you anything else about the story behind the photograph; other than that is was also developed in Leuven. I have no idea whether it was taken by a local or a BEF soldier. Thank you for pointing this out.
Lion, can you please post all of the pages ( privates cont) before & after 6. I've ordered the relevant WD's off Andy. You may have obtained a copy of The Regimental History.
Kevin, Its not required. The diary dropped through the door.Its just that i had clocked a name on page 6. PRIVATES ( Cont) that rang a bell with my Grandfather's Regiment 2/7 MX.
I'm currently researching activities for 2 Middlesex at the Dendre and attempting to identify the bridges each company defended, I wonder if the WDs for May 18-19 could be posted. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
I should be at my laptop tommorow evening, if Andy has not posted the two days you are after, then i will. Regards, Stu.
