Just found this site by accident. Interesting research here on the Oxs and Bucks. My Dad was in the Oxs and Bucks, not sure which unit, but he was at Monte Cassino also Anzio. He had previously fought in North Africa Eventually he ended up in the top of Italy next to Yugoslavia. Five years away from his family. As mentioned in other posts, the Oxs and Bucks were decimated at Monte Cassino. My Dad was transferred to the Queen's Own for Anzio. I live in Canada and I have been planning to go to England to look at my Dad's war records. From some of the comments here it looks like I can do that long distance. any assistance in that area would be helpful.

World War Two / Re: Re: My fathers WW2 Army file ?
« on: Tuesday 31 January 17 16:17 GMT (UK) »Hi Drew, thanks for info on ox & bucks diaries but I do have most of them ,I just wanted to chat to other ox & bucks families and pass on or get other info. It may be nice if anyone's father knew mine . I know he had a friend that lived in Hastings e.sx when I was a child in the late fifties /sixties as we used to visit him he had 2/3 girls I think his name was mick or Mack but that is all I can remember. also we use to visit his old reg.sergeant major at the tower of London. I believe he then ended up in the Chelsea pensioners home. My father was Sidney William Hussey. not to be confused with the Hussey that was an officer that was killed and is buried in salerno.Do you know the names of any of the troop ships that he went overseas on, please?
regards
Freda

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: JENKINS Family (from Fulham?)
« on: Tuesday 27 November 12 17:55 GMT (UK) »
Thomas Jenkins b. 1815 is my 2nd great grandfather, his son Thomas George Jenkins is my great grandfather, and his daughter Florence Daisy is my grandmother. I have their marriage certificate. He married Ann Crook on 14th May 1843 at Parish Church of Hammersmith, the witnesses were George Sharp and Harriet Hampton. Thomas' father was Joseph Jenkins a labourer and Ann Crook's father was Edward Crook also a labourer, Both Thomas Jenkins and Ann Crook signed with an X. Are you related to the Jenkins? If you wish you may view this (via Google) info and my other relatives at my web page Janet McKaig/Geoff Kelly Family Research Page. This is an FTM page and as you may know they can no longer be updated so I have other Jenkins info that is not included. You may already have this info since it has been up on my site for quite awhile. If you have any further research on Joseph Jenkins or Edward Crook I would love to see it.
Best regards
Geoff
