Hello Marco.

Great to learn a little piece of local Manitoba Regimental History is still alive and well in your hands. My wife's father and all of his brothers served in that Regiment and fortunately all made it back home.

You might want to keep an eye out for a copy of the Regimental Diary which the surviving members of the Regiment had reprinted for a reunion here in Winnipeg back in the late 1980's. It has a complete personnel roster with wartime home addresses, as well as an inventory of all the vehicles they lost from D-Day to the end of the war. I believe all their equipment was parked at Deelen before they came home.

Keep us up to date!


David

Albert Jan told me last night, I know you have been after this information for a long time so well done!

I have not forgotten about your Grizzly question..... (well I had until now! )

In the meantime I found out that the Sergeant on my Staghound was Sgt. Clifford N. Schaldemose.

There are 4 residential telephone listing for Schaldemose in British Columbia, one in Alberta and a sixth person in Falcon Lake, Manitoba. It is not much of a stretch to think this last person might recognize the name of Clifford Schaldemose.

Probably not of interest to anyone but here is the list of census numbers for Canadian Stags in 21 Army Group.

Whooppeeee! My 1500th post!

From Manitoba Dragoon veterans I received the information that, after the war, Sgt Schaldemose worked in the Burnaby area and retired in Victoria.
He had 3 daughters and passed away in the 1990's.

In 1944, 12MD started a scrapbook.
The attachment comes from this scrapbook and is written by 12th Troop.
So I guess either Tpr Pertrynko or Tpr Siegfried was the gunner on F215633.

Clive: Seeing my own Stag census number on it, the list is certainly worth something for me!
Am I correct that the name of the city of "Grave" is written above the date in the lower right corner?
Thanks for taking the time to post it!


Marco
