Ik hoop dat jullie net zo als ons, enorm genoten hebben van het weekend in Berwick, tijdens de Mindenday parade. Leuk jullie ontmoet te hebben.
Ben nog steeds een beetje brak, maar dat zal jullie niet verbazen ;-)
Good show at the Maison Queen's Own on 6 June 2009. Tjarko did a great reading.
Bedankt voor het plaatsen van een linkje naar onze Site!
Ik zag dat jullie het 7th van KOSB in ere houden. Kijk ook eens op:
www.interscaldis.nl
De band is opgericht in 1984. Als een soort “levend monument” voor de Schotse oudstrijders die in 1944 Walcheren hebben helpen bevrijden.
Vanaf de oprichting is het contact met het Schotse regiment “The King’s Own Scottish Borderers” erg hecht. Zodanig dat, vanaf 2006, de band officieel de cap-badge van dit regiment overal ter wereld mag dragen.
Inter Scaldis gaat al ruim 15 jaar, jaarlijks naar Berwick op uitnodiging van de KOSB om deel te nemen aan de herdenking bij de slag om Minden.
Jullie hebben een mooie site!
A very impressive reenactment group... thank you for honouring Canada's commitment and sacrifices during WW2... God bless you all... CHIMO
I am a member of the 2nd Bn. Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders in the US. We are proud to have a link to your site from ours and from our site to yours.

I WAS SO PLEASED AND EXTREMELY HAPPY TO HEAR OF THE BUGLES TO BE ENTERED INTO THE CADET TRAINING SCHEDULE.IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO HEAR A BUGLE SECTION RETURNED TO THE Q.O.R.OF CANADA TO BRING IT BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHERE PEOPLE WOULD FLOCK OUT ONTO THE STREET TO HEAR AND WATCH THE SMARTEST REGIMENT MARCH PAST TO THAT WONDERFUL MILITARY MARCHING MUSIC AND PERHAPS HERE THE SOLDIERS OF THE Q.O.R.SINGING "WE ARE THE BOYS OF THE Q.O.R.,YOUVE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT WERE NOT THE LEAST STUCK UP ABOUT THE FAMOUS THINGS WEVE DONE " AND SO ON. ASK ANY VETERAN OF DAYS GONE BY AND I CAN GUARANTY THEY WILL AGREE WITH ME . I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ACTION. YOURS TRULY WO2 JOE SMITH CD (RETIRED)

Hallo, Wij zagen jullie in Ursel en verrassend genoeg zitten we in Nederland niet ver uit elkaar. Wij komen uit Bergen op Zoom, zijn een nieuwe re- enactmentgroep die gericht is op het Canadese Lincoln&Welland regiment en tevens hebben we ook een aantal trezen in de groep, Nog even en dan is onze website (www.mapleleafboz.nl) operationeel en wellicht dat we elkaar wat vaker gaan tegenkomen groeten, Mapleleaf Bergen op Zoom

This is a great site. Thank you for providing it. You and your visitors here may be interested in a related website, The Original Wireless Set No. 19 Group, at http://www.qsl.net/ve3bdb. The Group gets its name from the famous World War Two 19 set, which today is collected, restored and used by Radio Amateurs the world over.
Dear Mr Robert J Wilson Read the history of your father and would like to hear more. Mostly because I am the Medical orderly in this unit and also the Regimental Bugler. You can contact me also via the webmaster of this site. Greetings Gerben
Excellent website gentlemen and I can see by the photos, you look right on. Great to see your unit.
I'm a member of the Queen's Own Rifles group over in the USA. Great to see more defenders of this proud regiment's history out there. You guys look great, keep up the good work! Pace Paratus -Andrew Frantz QORoC of the USA
I came across your web site by accident. Thought it was quite interesting. My father was the Regimental Medical sergeant and the Bugle Major of the Queen's Own Rifles when they landed on D-Day. He was with the Regiment from 1924 to 1954 and decorated for bravery two times during the war in Europe. It was nice to see the Regiment remembered in this way!
Hallo, Na jullie vertrek heb ik me de volgende morgen na Rob me vertelt had om volged jaar de 61ste bevrijding aan de kust te vieren me direckt wat belangrijk materiaal aangeschaft op de beurs. Buiten de organisatie en het weer viel het op Wings And Wheels nog zeer goed mee. Bij de voertuigen heb ik af en toe eens een paar mensen horen vertellen dat ik nog bij jullie in het kamp zou moeten kamperen (nadat ik mijn bivitent heb afgehaald natuurlijk). Hopelijk tot vlug weerziens en veel succes verder.
