Dear Ruud,
Many thanks for your email and
the attached jpeg.
Your reply was very quick.
I attach some photographs of
Leonard Allison for your website. I also have two pictures
of Leonard with other groups of soldiers. I do not know
where these were taken (in england or europe) or if they
comprise of 241 Field Company. But if they do they may
contain some images of some more of the soldiers in your
cemetery and might become treasured memories for some other
people. Would you like me to send these to you as well? As
you know, Leonard grew up in York, which is where I have
lived for the last 40 years - about 2 miles from where he
and his mother, my grandmother, lived.
Myself and my brother are the
only 2 next closest relations of Leonard Allison still alive.
My mother was one of Leonards older sisters and we had his
picture on display in our house since the end of WW2. I grew
up with his image.
His grave was originally
adopted by the Westras? and Arpotts? who lived in Brunssum.
I may find their address shortly - but sadly they will be
long gone.
Regards
Trevor Buttle |
