Hello

I'm looking for information about HARCOURT & SNOWDEN (both radio) 4 cdo, attached to the french troop for D.Day

Stéphane,

my father - also a signaller with 6 troop, 4 Cdo - remembers "Geordie" Harcourt well. (nicknamed Geordie, because he was from Newcastle).

My Father was with him at Walcheren, where he remembers Geordie was a despatch rider (signallers could also be called upon as despatch riders) After Walcheren they went on to Kamperland, Bergen Op Zoom, and last saw him at Rechlinghousen, Germany in 1945, so to his knowledge Geordie made it through to the end of the war.

Hope this helps.
Frank

Hello Frank

Thanks so much for this information. Please thanks your father. I know than your father Patrick was attached too, to the french troops.

I think than "geordie" HARCOURT has been wounded on D.Day.

Can you tell me if he is on the photo enclose.

Steph,

I've shown the photo to my father, and he can't find Geordie Harcourt on it. However, he does recognise one or two others..

Dad is seated bottom Row, 5th from Left.

2nd Row up, 5th from L is Bert Scrivens; in the row above him, 6th L is Jack Phelps (both originally from the Welsh Guards); 2nd Row from top, 1st R is ? Pickering.

regards,
Frank.

Thank you Frank and Pat

Thanks for the name, i've got few names but not those one.
