We were contacted via Facebook by Chalky White, whose father was Lance Corporal Noel White . Noel wearing his pal's Piper uniform He had a couple of photos of his Dad with his mates and wanted to confirm if one of them was Private Mark Tucker . Chalky said, " Dad was a Bren gunner and they came under fire and were pinned. My Dad got himself into a bit of trouble so Tucker ran to help him, he was killed pulling my Dad to cover. My Dad never got over that, ever". Since his Dad's passing, Chalky has made it his mission to find out more about Mark Tucker. He found the exact place where he was killed in Elbergen, Germany. He found the entry in the 1st KOSB War Diary for the 6th April 1945 that gave details of a patrol that came under fire. "A carrier patrol went down the line of the canal towards the railway bridge but were finally stopped by MG and Mortar fire from the farm at 715344". He also contacted a local newspaper in Liverpool to see if they would be interested in the story, or had any further information on Mark - but drew a blank. *Coincidentally, the photos that Chalky sent through were also given to us by veteran Joe Hunt , on a CD he sent a couple of years ago. *We are looking to see if we can find a connection to Noel and Joe. Richard at 1st KOSB in Normandy looked online for more clues to Mark's service but couldn't find anything new. So, as ever, we called in the 'big guns' and asked Jenny if she would be kind enough to shine a light on this. In record time, she came back with a newspaper clipping - with photo - that, we believe, confirms Mark Tucker is in both of the group photos we had in our Gallery. This meant we were able to pass this on to Chalky and update both of the group photos in the gallery. *We just need to find the identity of the chap who appears in the back of both photos! Private Mark Tucker is buried in the Sage War Cemetery in Großenkneten, Landkreis Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, Germany. His grave photo is here > https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/18427612/mark-tucker So, another story of the benefits of joint-research! It was nice for us to be able to answer another question - and add to the detail on the site. If you can help with identifying any of the unnamed soldiers in our Gallery , please do get in touch - it's always appreciated.

'Victory in Europe' day, 1945 was spent in a small town in Germany. The War Diary for 1st King's Own Scottish Borderers on the 7th and 8th of May report the following: 7th May 1945: The Bn moved to IBBENBUREN leaving DELMENHORST at 0715 and arriving at 1430.

The Bn was comfortably established in billets and settled down to cleaning up and smartening up after eleven months and two days of fighting on the Continent. In the evening it was announced that the next day would be celebrated as "Victory in Europe" day as all GERMAN armed forces in Europe had surrendered unconditionally to the Allies. 8th May 1945: "Victory in Europe" day. A Thanksgiving Service was held in IBBENBUREN Protestant Church at 0930 conducted by the Rev W.I.G. WILSON . The rest of the day was spent quietly as a holiday. The price paid for Victory in Europe.
