Lieutenant Gerald D. Hebb 2nd Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment
I am trying to gather any information on my great uncle, Lieutenant Gerald D. Hebb, M.C., who was a CanLoan Officer stationed with the East Yorkshire Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Division. I believe that he served in Italy in 1939.
Sgt. Wallace J. Eisenhauer 5th Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment
My Dad, Wallace J. Eisenhauer - who is still alive at the age of 86 - was a POW at the following POW camps until the liberation by Russians: Jacobstahl, Benghazi, Tuturano, Stalag IVB. He has much memorabilia including his POW dog-tag from Stalag IVB and a suberb cloth signed by over 100 fellow POW's ! He collected this whilst encarcerated - so they are original names from over 60 years ago! He was a Sargeant in the 5th Battalion of the East Yorkshire Regiment
I would love to hear from others who are still with us or their relatives.
Cpl. Roderick Swift 5th Battalion (d.28th June 1942)
My uncle Roddie Swift was killed at Alamein on 28th June 1942 aged 22yrs. I know very little about the circumstances surrounding his death, nor much about any of his time in the forces. I am his sole surviving close relative and would welcome anything about him.
