Hello Ivor At first, I will tell
you, how I found your excellent internet page
at www.irish-guards.co.uk I spend a
little bit of time with the keywords "Gummersbach"
and "World War" on the very well-known international
search engine . . . Google I found your private web site
about the local past, and your page with the old and
lovely pictures from Gummersbach the town where I live,
in Germany, and where you were stationed in 1945.
I had the idea to do this while I was going for
a walk to the our local World War memorial place.
When you are there, you have a great overview
on the beautiful town of Gummersbach ..
Your idea with the visitors page is grand. It's
just splendid, put my message on it I shall
be very happy
Cheerio
from Marcus
Marcus will also be happy to
see that I have included a snapshot
taken of me in 1945 in front
of the very Memorial he speaks about
in his E-mail. It was a very special
place to meet
friends and enjoy the spectacular
view of Gummersbach, in those days a
village, and the beautiful surrounding area
known as the Oberbergisher Land.
