Just found this thread about the 53rd Regt., Recce Corps, RAC which is the unit of my great uncle, Wilfred James Hall of Cwmbran, the first chap in the H section. Looking for information/photos of the unit and hopefully of him too or a point in the right direction would be good, if possible.

Welcome to the forum, great to have another Recce on board. Might I suggest you post a separate post on your great uncle in the Recce section. Cheers Paul
Cheers both for that, appreciate the input, think I will take your suggestion up in the very near future, will get all the things I know about him together first and see what I'll post up. Thanks again.

I have all the war graves in the Valkenswaard War Cemetery on file (and I visit them frequently) I just am not computer able enough to post the picture of the tombstone here. But if you wish, I can email it. My website: www.valkenswaardwarcemetery.nl
