Hi
If on my site i have given a IWM or other reference number then be assured that the description is exactly what the historic records state.
That said, ive found many errors for example...
Morris gun tractor (quads) being referred to as Armoured vehicles!
Locations being incorrectly stated ( I have modern photos' of the same locations and unless the buildings moved to the next village then there is no explanation except the caption is incorrect).
Where in doubt or a matter of conjecture you will see the words ‘reputedly’, ‘possibly’ etc in any description stated.
Its very difficult to be accurate over 65 years after the event,
Stuart Hills states in his book that he drove a Humber scout car named ‘Hurstwood’.
On a web site for his particular regiment someone has posted two photos of a Dingo with the words ‘HUSRTWOOD’ painted across the front of it in big letters.
So was it a Humber, or was it a Dingo incorrectly remembered?
We can only try our best to record what there is before those who witnessed it first-hand are gone.
