Were
you in the Guards Armoured Division ?



I
have been asked to find anyone who could help a Dutch visitor.
He is
building a website about World War Two and writes :
Dear Ivor,
On my website I inform visitors which units (forces) participated in
the Operation Market Garden (and the aftermath).
A lot of visitors, especialy the youngsters, don't know much about this.
I believe a personal story from a veteran will let visitors
feel/see/experience what it was like for men like yourself. On every
page (subject), I will ask a veteran to write me a short introduction
story. I hope you would like to help me find a veteran from the Irish Guards (part of Guards Armoured Division in 1944) who is willing to help me in
writing this intro-story.
My idea of a short introduction story is:
- Why you chose to join the army
- What were your thoughts
- What you expected
- What were your experiences. If you have other ideas of an introduction story or questions, please let me know...
yours truly,
Rene Swankhuizen

If
you are willing to help Rene please let me know
and I will put you in touch.
