How would I find out exactly where in Holland or Belgium would my
Father-in-law had physically been stationed during or near to the end of
WW 2 in 1945. I do have his regimental particulars but need to know how
to start the trace. Thank you, Pat Hilson, Renfrew, Ontario

Good question. You need to find what particular unit your
father-in-law served with or was attached to, being Ordinance Corps, he
could have been attached to pretty much any unit. If for instance, he
happened to be with the SAR South Alberta Regt, then you would be in
luck as their recent regt history book actually does go into details
concerning support units like the RCOC. With more details, there are
several individuals on our NG that can help you out.

Hi Pat.

If you know his Unit then the best way is to look up the Unit War Diary.
These are open files and are held at the National Archives. Many have been
transferred to microfilm and the film is available through inter-library
loan. The War Diary will give a day-by-day breakdown of activity and
location. When in a town/city, this is usually prominently noted, when in
the field they usually reference a map co-ordinate - again easily
cross-referenced.
Good Luck,
Clive M. Law
