    I am interested in the soft copy of the 1 RUR official history. Can it be done here or with "we transfer"?

    I have a (pretty rough) soft copy of the 1 RUR official history buried away on an old clapped out laptop somewhere - can anyone advise the best way to make it available to everyone if I can dig it out??

    Unfortunately I haven't got the time at the moment to format it and put a website together as per 2RUR but no sense in not making the information available.

    Thanks.

    Quis

    P.S. If any one has any War Diary entries for 2RUR from June 44 onwards would be very interested in viewing/obtaining copies.

    For anyone interested in 2 RUR, I found myself at a loose end near Kew today whilst taxi driving for the kids so thought it only fair to pop in and do a bit of digging.

    End result is I managed to photograph all of War Diaries for 2 RUR for 1944 and first 4 months of 45 which can be viewed at following links for next 7 days only - fill your boots!

    Thanks.

    Sorry, there was a brain to hand malfunction. I "knew" you were talking about the one man - your uncle.

    If you think he was with the LIR in 1945/46 was he then overseas with them in Italy/Austria during those years, do you know ? My dad was a CQMS and temporarily RSM/RQMS with 2 LIR near Villach in 1945 until their disbandment in early 1946.

    I don't always agree with what's written on Wiki, but that seems about right. The colour of caubeen is also a differentiator, and also which side the cap badge is worn.

    This is what my father said about it:
    “After about a month, I was promoted to Warrant Officer II and was posted as CSM of HQ Company. I could not believe it. George Charnick gave me my symbols of rank: a green caubeen and blue hackle with the large chromium badge and a fine, black walking stick."

    To get chapter and verse on dates/ranks/postings, you could send off for his service records and that would cut out any other ambiguity.

    Hi
    My father was killed in Overloon when I was a year old. I have only just got round to going through the letters he sent to Mum from France and Holland. I am grateful to Quis Separabit for the war diaries downloaded on 03/04/2012 which tie up with the letters.
    During and after DDay he was not with 2RUR. Letters dated June 10, 13, 14 and 15 he gives his address as 1. East Lancs, 38RHU, APO. Letters dated from June 19 to July 18 are addressed P (and the M) Sub Unit, 32RHU, 101 Rfl Group, APO. He reports that he is acting as Training Officer. He rejoined 2RUR on 20 July at Troarn. Can anyone add any details?
    Many thanks Bill

    Hello all,

    I live close to Overloon in the Netherlands. When walking my dog I often park my car close to the War Cemetry over there. One thing that attracted my attention was why there is one Dutch soldier buried between around 250 Commonwealth soldiers. At the moment I'm trying to find out his story.

    Until now I have some personal details and this weekend I found out he was most probably with the 2nd RUR when he died while his mother unit the Dutch 'Prinses Irene Brigade' was fighting somewhere else in the Netherlands.
    On http://royal-ulster-rifles-ww2.blogspot.nl/2010/11/14th-to-16th-october-1944-overloon-and.html I found this sentence: 'Among the casualties was one of our Dutch Interpreters who was unfortunately killed when hit by a mortar bomb'.
    I also just ordered "The Rifles are There" 1st and 2nd Bns. The Royal Ulster Rifles in the Second World War. So I'm getting closer.

    My question: Is there more information about Sergeant Wilhelm Christian van der Burgt when he was with 2RUR? I can imagine War Diaries or similar.

    With kindest regards,

    Gerard Berkers
