Pte. Howell David

British Army 1st Btn. Middlesex Regiment

(d.12th May 1945)

I'm looking after 8 War Graves in Hamburg of Middlesex Soldiers, including that of David Howell. Early in 1946 the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regt. came from Lübeck to Rendsburg to stay for one year at Barracks called Albuhera Barracks. I was 11 years old, and after a short time the Regiment adopted me as a mascot. I made many friends, and am still in contact with a number of ex Members. I have opened a museum in our Town, Museum Time of Occupation. To the opening, 7 ex Members came over from England. I have received many photos from the end of the was, from the Barracks, in the Barracks, in front of the famous NAAFI Kiel Club an many more. If any one is looking for someone from that time 1946 1947 perhaps I can help, as I also have all the Diehards Magazines from that Time.

Additional Information:

Please can you help me regarding your collection of die hard magazines? My Dad is in very poor health but has told me that he was in a copy of one of the Diehard magazines 1946 1947 for his boxing his name is Robert Taylor (Bob Taylor) I would really appreciate it if you had any spare time available you perhaps could look through your copies for me as I have tried to find copies regarding die hard magazines but could only trace one copy in the army museum.
