    One of my favourite WW2 memoirs is that of Ron Tee, formerly of the 78th Div.

    When I first got interested in "Blogs" I was most impressed by the site that Ron's family set up to honour his wartime experiences which went under the title of "A British soldier remembers"

    For whatever reason, the link that took me to his site no longer functions and naturally this gives me cause for concern.

    If anyone has news of Ron I would be most obliged for details.

    Many thanks

    Ron

    Hi Ron, googled and found several references to him, including this one at Canadian veteran affairs where he gave an interview. Might have some luck if you contact them. Its a starting point if nothing else.

    Ron which browser are you using?

    A bit late for this shout I know but if you're using firefox there's a handy little add-on called "Scrapbook" which allows you to save web pages in their entirity, even entire sites if you really need to. These can then be saved and read at your leisure.

    Thanks for the tip but I use Internet Explorer/Outlook Express.

    I normally have no problems but this was a straightforward broken link.

    I am a great believer (and user) of GOOGLE's Desktop and PICASSA 2 ( as I have about 39,000 jpgs stored on my hard disk )

    Cheers

    I would much appreciate a workable link to Ron Tee's "A British soldier remembers" that used to dwell on Geocities.

    Many thanks

    If I can beg a few minutes of your time ?

    For the benefit of myself, and I am sure many others, in simple layman's terms, what is the ethos behind the Wayback Machine, who run's it and how does it decide which sites to archive ?

    Many thanks

    Jonathan Ball It's a way of life.

    If I could add the following?

    The wayback machine is one of the services offered by the very good people at the internet archive.org

    Internet Archive: About IA

    It's were you can find the late and very much missed Regiments.org website in it's archived form.

    So glad you all enjoyed dad's site. I'm sad to say he passed away in December 2012 at the age of 93.

    May I offer my belated condolences to you and your family on your grievous loss.

    I held your father in the highest esteem and he certainly inspired me to post so much of my own ww2 history online.

    My very best regards

    Ron
