Rfm. Alfred George Sellens

Army 1st Btn. 5 Platoon The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)

I am doing some research for a friend of mine. Her father was Alfred George Sellens, a RF.N. in the Cameronians. He served in DP of Burma 1943 to’45. He and other soldiers wrote several wonderful poems in an old Eclipse Reporters Note Book, which I think has a twin somewhere. One of these poems is “The Bar O Boys, Introducing 5 Platoon.” The list below contains as many names as I was able to glean from the poem. If any of these names are familiar, please contact me. I would love to compile a history of this Platoon and discover if there is another Eclipse Reporters Note Book of poetry out there. Bar O Boys 5 Platoon Taffy John - Range Boss Tex, M’Guire - Foreman Donneky J.C. O’Connel Sinclair Auchinclose Smokey Rooney Little Cooney Pete McEwan Tichy Elam Thompson Ginger Spiers Watt Wee Spud Tomson Georgie Woods Bobby Dreer Deighton Harry Hindson Tug Wilson - bronco buster Petrie - top hand rustler Begorra, Pat, Hayewood Duncan Michie Tam Mc’Crae Sammy Begg Jackson Fair-Man (Scottish Rifles) Any information that would lead to the identity of theses riflemen would be greatly appreciated.
