Europe / W.W. 11 Crash site Memorial.
« on: Friday 21 January 22 00:03 GMT (UK)  »
On the night of 2/3 August, 1943, a Lancaster Bomber crashed with the crew on board
S / SW of Buxtehude and lies under the Meadows of the Este River.  Only in 2017 was the site positively identified and a memorial erected with the names of the crew in German & English. The location of that memorial is said to be near the crash site in a water meadow near the Este River, between the villages of Daensen & Nindorf.   Between the Covid Pandemic and the fact that I am now 80 years old, it is unlikely I will ever be able to make a personal visit.  I would like to know if any newspaper or resident may have a photograph of this Granite Memorial.  Any help or further advice would be greatly appreciated

Genealiza.  Thank you for this information. I do have info. on his Civil War Service and copies of those letters as well as his death in Danville.  However, as you say, it says "27 Folders" which seems to indicate that there is more to learn.  I will contact the museum directly.
Thanks again.
Robert

The St. Louis Post Dispatch of July 3, 1897 carries a story about a David Allan who was "examined" following his arrest for the theft of 600 books from 2 St. Louis libraries.  It does not say what happened to him afterwards.   I would to know the outcome of this.

This photograph was taken around 1960 outside what is now the Alexander Dennis factory in Falkirk.
Any help in fixing the "wrinkles" would be greatly appreciated.

Armed Forces / Battle of Waterloo

I have a William Allan, born in Falkirk in 1797 who served with The Duke of Wellington at this battle.
Where should I go to find his military record. I do not know the regiment.
