• L/Cpl Paul Dyck of the Perth Regiment. The notice of his death contained the following information about his unit: 2DD (AF) C Inf CR Wing, #2 COY for Bfd Y. We are family members of Paul Dyck, B157575, who was killed in action in Italy, Dec 12, 1944 in the vicinity of Villanova, near the Lamone River. He had enlisted early in 1944, and was shipped out sometime in early summer 1944. His death was given as Dec 12, 1944, according to a report from Capt D.C. Smith, and he was identified from the disc on his body. My wife is a niece. Paul's parents were Jacob and Justina Dyck of Laird, Sask. We visited Paul's grave in 2002 at the Ravenna War Cemtery. We walked over the terrain where we think the battles occurred that caused his death and the deaths of many others. We would be interested to know: (1) if there are any persons living who served with Paul and remember him, and (2) whether anyone knows any details about the incident/specific engagement which took his life. We can be reached at: Harold and Neoma Jantz, 862 Kildonan Drive, Winnipeg, MB R2K 2E9. Tel. 204-667-1419. Fax: 204-654-9182. Email: jantz@mts.net. Many thanks!

• ANNIVERSARY OF THE LIBERATION OF BERGEN OP ZOOM - OPPORTUNITY

  Dear Friend,

  Here a letter from Bergen op Zoom, Holland. I will introduce myself to you who don't know me. My name is Leon Roosenboom, at the age of 75. My job is to approach the men who liberated our city at October 27th 1944, that's almost 60 years ago.

  My question is: is there a chance for some old-liberators (if they want, they can bring there families) to visit our city around October 27th 2004 or around May 5th 2005? If so, would you please contact me as soon as possible at the following address:

  Leon Roosenboom
  Frans Halsstraat 51

  You can also send an e-mail to:

  l.p.mac@home.nl

  Thank you, on behalf of the organization '60 years of liberation in Bergen op Zoom' but most on behalf of myself.

  Best regards,
  Leon Roosenboom
