Rosamund Ridley Email: balleroy631@googlemail.com Telephone: 01539 821509 In a Cumbrian junkshop, I found a typed, bound account of a backpacking journey across Normandy & Brittany - prety much exactly D-Day country - but this is 1912.
Last December, I gave a talk to the Liverpool History Society, re these six friends.
I know now that the account - with over 70 p[hotos, belonged to Frederick Ivor Pulford,of West Derby, 17th Bn, KIA 12/10/16, Thiepval Memorial.
They travelled to France as ' Mr Pulford's party' - Pulford was educated at the Institute.
An article on part of their story was published last year, in a journal ( cambridge)
The French adventure - ( he was with a girlfriend - so was his Collegiate friend) - gives one more of the Somme Missing a history - The Collegiate man served in the RAMC, published the RAMC part of Liverpool's part in the war, 1919, and a later ( 1928) history too.
If anybody is interested, or can comment, please contact me. Ms. Ute Tiede seeking Robert Plunkett Email: UteTiede@aol.com Gentlemen,

I have been researching the history of a scottish WW2 battalion for 4-years, and speaking to surviving veterans from the 6th Royal Scots Fusiliers. Some time ago I spoke to a gentleman who I believe had served in the 8th Batt. of the Kings Regiment, and following the Normandy landings he was later posted to the 6th RSF. I am not sure if his former battalion was disbanded, but I do know that quite a number of men from the 8th Kings ended up in the 6th RSF. I would be grateful if you could tell me if this information is correct, and indeed if it was possible to get in touch with any veterans who served in both battalions. I would be more than happy to write a more detailed account of my research. Yours sincerely,
William
