I am from England and was born in 1941.The family I come from befriended a Canadian soldier who was known as Robert James Cummings Lennox and served with the Canadian Armed Forces. He may have been a mechanic with the Provost Company as well having served with the Toronto Scottish Regiment. His father was a manager of a boiler works factory in Canada. I dearly would love to get in contact with Mr.Lennox or his family.

My name is Anna Lodewijk and I befriended a soldier known as Beaney. This soldier served with Calgary Regiment which is part of 1st Armoured Brigade and attached to the 5th Armoured Division. The regiment was stationed in Franeker. He was also a friend and frequent visitor at the Jello and Afke Vellinga family. His nickname was "Speed". All would like to give a warm welcome liberator "Beaney," should he wish to come to Holland for a visit.

He joined the army in Edmonton, Alberta and left the army Vancouver BC in September of 1945. He may have been driving trucks. His family believes that he may have left genealogical connections overseas. Anyone who has known Mr. Sandberg, please contact John Boers in Canada through regular or e-mail or fax.  Your help is appreciated.

My name is Sjoukje and in 1945 I met a soldier who was stationed in Leeuwarden, a city in the northern part of Holland. His name was Bud but last name is lost. He lived in big white house in Leeuwarden. A wonderful gentle and he was with the military police. Had access to a jeep and we went places at time we went eating in the army barracks. In his duties he had a German Sheppard dog and later he gave this dog to me. When he left for Canada he said that when he went to bed at night he could hear the Niagara Falls. I would dearly love to know what happened to him so over the years gone by. Hope that some day I meet him again.

Was in the Netherlands and believed to have served with the "B" Sqnd of 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, a Reconnaissance unit. Stationed at Overschie which is near the City of Rotterdam. His first name is believed to be Jack or John. Made friends here and contact with him very is very important.

I am looking for contact with the Lavender families and in particular with those who have family members that served with the 5th Armoured division. The person in question was stationed in the area of Assen/Groningen.
