Lawrence Bar

British Army 61st Anti-Tank Regiment Royal Artillery

I have a small address book belonging to my father Johan Coppens, who lived with his family in the town of Helvoirt near Hertogenbosch in the south of Holland. This book contains the names and addresses of members of the armed forces in the area of Holland in November and December 1944. Most of the addresses are of members of the British Army, but there are also some from Canada and the United States. Only one soldier entered information on his regiment. His name was 6141261 Lawrence Bar, W.R.H.Q., 61 A/T R.A., B.L.A.

I would like to know how these names came to be in my father's book. Whether or not they were billeted with his family.
