204940 Cpl. Herbert " " Hoddy British Army B Sqn. 61st Reconnaissance Regiment. from:Oldham, Lancashire (d. ) My late father, Herbert Hoddy served with the 61st Recce, B Sqn from 1941 and ended the war in Lipstadt in Germany as a Clerk (Sgt.) also serving with 7 Troop, B Sqn 59th Recce and 12 Troop, C Sqn 43rd Recce. I have 300 letters of his sent to my late mother and only read, by me, in 2008. I am compiling a history of the action that he, and many other, saw during WW2 and will be making this public at sometime in the future. I would love to hear from anyone who knew my father or has any info on his regiments.
