Good Day to All, Who can give me some support in finding a list of ALL H.L.I.-soldiers which were enlisted until 1946. I have H.L.I.-pictures which were made in Canada, Nova Scotia between 1940 and 1945. In most cases there is a surname, but I also want to know their first name(s) and reg.no. Is...

I’m still searching for the last 46 names of 155 STORMONT, DUNDAS & GLENGARRY HIGHLANDERS. The soldiers are in a photo, made in May /  June 1945 in Hilbersum, the Netherlands. With a lot of luck a lot of Veterans and their relatives responded to the mesages I put on several sites. However, also...

It's almost a year now that I'm searching for the names of 155 SD&GHighlanders. They are in an image made at Hilversum. In March 2005 I only knew two soldiers in the photo as "Lt. Gavin and Pte. Armstrong, because they stayed for some time with the van der Horst Family. Also I did not know even...

The photo, made at Hilversum, the Netherlands in 1945, is identified by Canadian Veterans as the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Highlanders. Because there was not a SD&G veteran among them, I hope (maybe) to get in touch with a Veteran who served one of the SD&G Army-unit(s) . . . Maybe, just...
