| Comments: | Thanks for this website, its been hard trying to find info on the 131st.My Grand Father,sgt Gordon Dudgeon served with the regiment from 1939 till it was disbanded.He didnt talk much about the war, only when asked he would always reply "i got my feet wet alot".After his passing my Grand mother and i, found a photo in his uniform with a family which we believe was taken in Holland, also a newspaper clipping of my Grand father inspecting the Siegfried line.i would be very happy to send a copy of these to you, if your interested. Some years ago my grand mother spoke to a very close friend of my Grand father who had served with him(TA),and asked him about their war years.He had mentioned that my Grand father was in Coventry the night that it was leveled, and was never the same after this episode.i was wondering if you have any Regimental info on this period of time. Thanks Scott. |

My grandfather went into hiding. He was a horse trainer in the Dutch army. He died in 1978, but told his grandchildren a lot of world-war-stories. Now, my husband Matthew, me and the kids visit every year one of the war-cemetery in the neighbourhood at the 4th of may (remembrance day in the Netherlands). Each kid has a few smal plants and chooses graves to put one there. In this way they (and we) read the names, age etc. of the soldiers and also the emblems the kids find great. Desiree Jansen |
