14th/15th June 2008. The Country House at War. Sledmere House, Yorkshire. We need Civilians, Home Guard, RAF, Brit Army....This is an event set in 1940/41 so you need to be really authentic and we have a budget for those wanting to display! This is a new event and you MUST be registered to attend, we are not encouraging people to turn up on the day in costume as we are trying to keep the event very authentic. If you would like to display or to come as any of the above please email me as soon as possible, lots of camping/caravanning space and a super unchanged Village hall!

Dear Sirs or Madams, I should like to ask you for your help regarding a WWII episode that I witnessed in 1944 as a German soldier during the Normandy landing. In August or September of 1944 a comrade of mine, Herbert Schmidt, and myself found a wounded British soldier our age ( 19 at that time, I am born in 1925, thus 82 years of age now) in a Norman wood leaning against a tree. His legs were both fractured, he was wailing and he could not walk any more. He shouted to us: “Don’t kill me!” And we replied: “We won’t kill you!” We were all very scared of being killed. Then he sang the German national anthem composed by Haydn based on a poem by Ferdinand von Freiligrath. And we sang the British hymn “God save the King” in order to calm him. Then he said: “I am a flutist of the London Symphony Orchestra.” We answered: “We are also musicians!” He seemed to be glad about this. Then we put him onto our bicycle and transported him to the nearest German military hospital where he was operated on. + + +CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY THE BRITISH SOLDIER OR EVEN BETTER STILL PUT JOCHEN IN TOUCH? + + + Jochen Nubel Morieres-les-Avignon, France Wednesday, December 05, 2007 at 18:09:19 (GMT)

Hi, I'm producing a series for ITV Central, The Way We Were. I'm not sure where you're based but we're looking for old cinefilm from the Midlands, either amateur or professional. Would you or your colleagues know of any film or any old film makers from the region? My direct line is 0844 881 4176. Many thanks.

Unsure if this was registered previously but I have received no response to date. Please could anyone tell me about the label in clothes, which looks like the CC41 label but isnt. I have been told different things but would like to know if anyone out there knows the true meaning + + + Have a look back through the archives here on the guestbook - there are some interesting threads on British and American labels - it should answer your questions, best wishes - Bryan & Louise + + +
