Hi Shaun
I use google alerts that made me find your post, got it set on the regiment.
I have got a folder in Dropbox I can find, it's got lots in it, a bit muddled up but it will give you an idea of what I have.
I will try to private message it to you, with an outline of its content.
Adam
Ps is there anyway we can look at your books you have wrote.
Not the ones you are selling

Hi Shaun
As it happens, your not the first person I have heard say you couldn't understand why there is not more information, on what the 7th Battalion Ox and Bucks did in WW2.
When I visited the Cowley barracks nearly 20 years ago, David Stanley (who was considered an expert on the 7th Battalion) said exactly the same thing.
I noticed back in the early posts of this thread, I have contributed and would like to help with anything I have, if you was interested.
I am so pleased you are considering writing about it.
Thanks Adam

Hello Wallace
My grandfather was one of the 60 as well.
I have the Oxford and bucks war chronicles if you want to know anything.
Hello Mathsmal
The last time I was in Woodstock it was before the museum opened and I ended up talking to Ingram Murray about Hazebrouck for most of my visit.
When I first started researching the regiment David Sterling helped me, is he well ?

Hello Bill
Your father was with my grandfather then for most of the war, they did a awful lot of fighting in that time and were involved in quite a few different battles and on more than one occasion lost so many men, it was almost completely destroyed.
Have you looked into the 7th batt Ox and bucks at this time, I don't want to bore you if you have, because I have, everything from visiting the regiments historians/researchers at Slades barracks and woodstock, to looking around a few of the battlefields in Italy.
I have 3 of the war chronicles books as well as a bit of info from the TNA, so if there was anything you wanted to know or if you wanted me to let you know key things they did, point you to a few websites etc, I would be happy to help.
I am interested to know how your father got away from the fighting in which my grandad got catured in, it was the 16th feb 1944, which was more or less the end of the 7th batt as a fighting force, do you know what company he was in?
all the best Adam
PS yes your right Andy, I was thinking of the other one up the road where they were murdered.
I will look forward to getting this book.

Hello Andy
Does that mean that Bills father would have joint up with the same battallion that was involved in the german atrocities in France may 1940.
I would like to see this guide if its possable, is it available.
