Good day to you gentlemen! I have been asked by the family of Cfn John Sanders to try and more about John's service with 6 RTR LAD. The time spann covers Aug 1944 through Feb 1946 until release in Sept 1947.
I have found the War Diary (Typed version) on the net which has been very useful in tracking where sqns were. Of course post May 1945 information recorded becomes less. Italy - Austria and possibly Germany appears to be where the various location where sqns moved around to.
If anyone has any notes, photos or recollections about John Sanders in Reme, who I might add, was a young man who fled the Nazi oppression in Germany and sought safety in Britain. After first being sent to Australia as a Internee with mant others. Churchill realised his mistake and allowed Internees to volunteer to return to join the Forces. John joined the Reme to do his bit and fight with the Allies with 6 RTR.
Thank you
Alan Yates
