Subject: [MLN] Military research help needed...British 8th...Canadian 5th RCEME's
Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 16:21:12 -0400


Listers: this is not an advertisement. But I stumbled over this site
as I was frantically trying to find anyone who could tell me of a web
site which dealt with the British Army 8th Division, WW2, Archives. I
am doing research on my step-father's involvement as a member of the
Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers assigned to the
British 8th during the war years...specifically during
1943-1944...France to Italy theatres.

I am still looking for that elusive site...my trusty Copernic is
working overtime...but I cannot seem to click on to the correct key
words to bring up the goodies. Can anyone help?

The following reference is to a commercially motivated researcher and
not supported by me. This is for education purposes only and for those
who may feel the need to learn more about the site owner and his
services in their own context.

"Public Record Searches by Bob O'Hara

I will conduct historical or genealogical research into the various
subjects mentioned below most of which are held at the Public
Record Office, Ruskin Avenue, Kew, London. The PRO holds records of
soldiers and officers who were discharged up to
1921. Military records include details of Scottish, Irish, Welsh and
English regiments. There are records of Royal Navy ratings who
joined the service up to 1923, Royal Marines, Royal Air Force,
Merchant Seamen, Metropolitan Police, Royal Irish Constabulary
and Foreign & Colonial Office records including those for the West
Indies and early North American Colonies."
