23rd Field Regiment Motorcycles
Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who responded to my posting. I am overwhelmed by your generosity in sharing your expertise and knowledge and I will be contacting several people individually. I was stunned that Herb Danter actually knew my dad Eric England and could recount a story about him - brought tears to my eyes, as Eric passed in 1980 and these memories mean so much to me.
I've attached a photo of my dad on a motorcycle and on the back it says "Friesoythe April 45, Left to Right: Doug Dobie, Bruce McNeill, Dick Mardole, Stan Collin, glen Platt & Eric England." One posting said the motorcycles used were Nortons - does anyone know anything else about the model of Nortons used in the war, as I'd like to include this in a binder I'm compiling for my family on my dad. Thanks again for all your responses and kind wishes.
