Hi Dave
Interesting thread I have been in contact with Janice and together I have some good photos.
My Dad was in the 318 Lance Bombardier Roy Stevens
I have researched the 318 movement with map references. I’ve nearly finished my project on Dads
Route I am hopefully that a small booklet can be printed off so I can provide them to my Janice and my family.
It would be interesting to see any other photos that I could use.

Hi Martin
I’ve just had a chat with member (Mr K.R Bright) He is very knowledgable on the 99th London Welsh. Send him a message and he will help you out.
Dave

 

Cheers Dave
thanks for getting back to me, I will contact him to see what else he could tell us. Especially about what they did in Hamburg sports wise? I’ve completed Dads journey and it’s going to print it will be a nice item to pass on to our family.

My dad Harold Brisland served in the 99th London Welsh at the end of the war. Going through old photos and found a few of the men he served with. Are these first names familiar to any of you searching this regiment.
Ron, seems a character who did a mime it seems of Hitler.
Paddy bit of a gymnast
Bob
Eddy
Jim
Joe
Doug

Are any of the first names in your history I can scan photos if you need them.
