I've just bought a box lot of WW2 newspapers all original and am going through them ...if there is any particular article you're after post here and I'll see if it is mentioned before I put on ebay...all scans are ofcourse free..
Hi Mark, Thank you for a generous gesture! Any copies of the 'Belfast Telegraph'? I know the paper carried several pieces about the North Irish Horse (in which I served) - other than the reprint of two articles about the Award of the Maple Leaf, a copy of which was given to each of us in the summer of 1994, anything else would be most welcome. I believe 'The Northern Whig' also carried a few articles. Gerry
I'll start with the 8th Army...they even had their own paper! kieron hill...send me your email address if you wish I'll send the full size scanned articles before they end up on ebay!!..be warned they are massive
I collected a series called The War Papers which came out in the '70s. Basically, they were a 90 part series of facsimilies of British papers of WW2, though I think there was an American one too. The new covers Marshall Cavendish put on them featured stories around the various leaders on both sides, and a few other relevent features. Every second issue had a free gift in the shape of a facsimile propaganda poster, and again they came from all sides in the conflict. Still sitting in a box in me old man's attic, and still glad I bought them.
Any of these have photos of men killed at the front? I am always looking for photos of men killed in Normandy and in NW Europe and Italy (British Army only). If any of them do let me know when you put them on Ebay.
