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 tracked column arrived three hours later and the Bn was settled in by 1800 hrs with positions as follows:- Bn HQ 988091; "A" Coy 991095; "B" Coy 997101; "C" Coy 988088; "D" Coy 990083; "S" Coy 038072. 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.

Prior to the D-Day landings, the 1st KOSB were stationed in Denmead in the New Forest. The day the official War Office Photographer (Sgt Woolridge) chose to visit - 29th April 1944 - was also my Grandad's (David Morrison) 21st birthday. Here's a few photos from the Imperial War Museum's online collection. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections Here's a google map of Creech Wood near Denmead where KOSB and other members of 3rd Infantry were based. Happy birthday, Grandad. Wish you could see the website. Corporal D Morrison, piper, 1st KOSB R Grayling

To help the British Army boost their number of officers during World War 2, the Canadian Army set up a scheme whereby they would loan their own officers to serve with British Regiments. The scheme was approved at the end of 1942 and called for approximately 1500 Canadian officers at the outset, however this was reduced to roughly 625 by the time of the Normandy landings (Mostly due to them being needed by their own Regiments by that time). In total, 672 Canadian Officers served in North West Europe, Italy, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The 1st Battalion KOSB employed 11* Canloan officers during WW2: *Updated 12 Jan 2025 CDN611 Lieutenant Willard Caseley Before joining the 1st KSOB on 23rd July, he was with the coastal artillery for 2 years (regiment not known). Was killed in his first attack. KIA 6 August 1944 CDN502 Lieutenant Malcolm R. Rose was a battle drill instructor in camp Sussex, NB. Posted to 1st KOSB on 1st of July.

Left to return to Canada in July 1945. He died in 1970, aged 57. *CDN34 Lt. P. C. McLaughlin . Joined KOSB on 15 April 1944. Canloan officers paid a heavy price during WW2 with 128 Officers killed, 310 wounded and 27 becoming POWs.

Willard Caseley Update 1st Feb 2025. As interest in the CANLoan officers who served with 1st KOSB in Normandy has grown, and we have received photographs from the Canadian War Museum, we have created a special section for them here R Grayling

Many years ago I came across an entry in a short book about the 1st KOSB in Normandy and it mentioned that in August 1944 they, ' played the pipes in honour of an American airman shot by the SS'. This intrigued me but, with all the other research I was doing, I had to put it to one side. Years later, whilst gathering information on the wounded, our researcher, Jenny , sent me a newspaper clipping that gave some more detail. This set me on a quest to tie up the loose ends and discover who this poor young lad was, and what the circumstances were around the events. From what we can gather so far: The US Airman in question was 2nd Lt Thomas Lee Crow Jr (navigator) aboard US B17 (Flying Fortress) serial No. 42-97353 named 'BEV ' after the pilot's wife, Beverley, flying out of Chelveston, Northants, UK with the 305th Bomb group/366th Bomber Squadron. His crew were: Co-pilot/Flight Officer, 2nd Lt. Joe Robichaud 2nd Lt. Wendell Terry (Pilot) Taken POW Bombadier: 2nd Lt. Henry Schienhold Taken POW Flight Engineer/Top Turret Gunner: T/Sgt. Chas Kittle Radio Operator: Sgt. Frank Holland Ball Turret Gunner: S/Sgt. John Lanz Waist Gunner: Sgt. Theo Meek Tail Gunner: Sgt. Henry Richardson They failed to return from a 'battle area support' mission when their aircraft was hit by flak over Flers - where the 1st KOSB and American Rainbow Division were meeting heavy resistance. *UPDATE 30 Jan 2025: Missing Aircrew Report: "T/O Chelveston, assigned target - support of ground troops - Fountain-Bellinger, France. Flak set left wing on fire behind No1. engine and pilot ordered crew to bail out at 20,000 feet. German troops fired at crew as they were in their parachutes and may have killed Lt Crow. Crashed about 1400hrs at La Bordliere near Segri-Fontaine, six miles North-East of Flers. Six men landed within the German lines and were captured. Three, Sgts Kittle, Lanz and Meek were admitted to a German Hospital but were liberated the following day when Free French troops occupied the area." According to the French locals, Lt Crow was shot by German SS troops after parachuting out of the stricken aircraft and then furtively buried in a field close by the village of La Chappelle Au Moine. (2 others of the crew were taken prisoner but 6 escaped and were returned to duty). By U.S. Air Force - http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/photos/060517-F-1234S-032.jpg, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4547737 When 1st KOSB moved into the village of La Chappelle Au Moine and were told about what had happened, they set about finding Thomas' body and giving him a proper burial. Captain Edward Dishington and members of the Support Company of 1st KOSB carried his body to the local church, flanked by pipers, and gave him a military burial and both a Catholic and Protestant service. Finally, after some research on Ancestry and some great help from: Joe Baugher's site, Robert Houston in the US, FindaGrave, Ancestry and Vincent in Normandy, ANSA 39 45  (association Normande Souvenir Aerien Orne Maine), we have found a photo of both Thomas and his grave in Birmingham Alabama. (His body was repatriated after the War). US Airman Thomas Lee Crow Jr (From Public Photos on Ancestry) Photo from Teresa Dutton-Goodale on FindaGrave I like to think that my Grandad, David Morrison , was one of the pipers who played the lament, Lochaber No More, as Thomas was carried to the churchyard, guess we'll never know for certain though. *Update 16/1/25 - well now we do! Article from The Hawick News, September 1944. Click to hear the lament, Lochabor No More, on Youtube Corporal David Morrison, piper with 1st KOSB in Normandy Or his best man, James Adamson . Corporal James Pringle Adamson, piper with 1st KOSB in Normandy Captain Edward Munro Dishington, CO of Support Company. Whilst not necessarily a story about the 1st KOSB's military actions in War, I feel this story shows the other side of soldiers that is seldom reported, and the mutual respect shown to their allies. 2nd Lt Wendell Terry (pilot) Wendell Terry wrote a book called ' Lt. Terry's Christmas Fudge ' which he apparently made from Red Cross packages whilst in a German POW Camp. Information from the book states, 'Sheinhold was taken POW with Terry. They were being held together and when the opportunity arose, Terry gave Sheinhold a 5 minute head start to escape and planned to meet when Terry got free. Like the two prisoners, their guards were exhausted and fell asleep when they escaped. Sheinhold made it, but Terry was recaptured and beaten severely. He escaped a second time, but was turned in by an older Frenchman then spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft 1. Sheinhold contacted Terry’s wife after getting back to the states and was pessimistic, telling her Terry had been killed'. *Terry was slightly wounded during his first escape by the guard who later beat him. The guard was killed in a P-47 strafing run the next day, which was a common part of the trip while the SS men were trying to get the two out of France. UPDATE 9th Jan 2025: After the War, Bombardier, 2nd Lt. Henry Schienhold visited Tom's mother. A relative stated that she hadn't believed he was really dead until that visit... UPDATE 15th Jan 2025: From Wendell's Great Great Grandson, " I do know that Henry Sheingold was a POW. I shared the information with my Mother. She said she remembered that Henry sent flowers to Tom’s mother every year on Mother’s Day for several years". *When asked 'why only 1 waist Gunner on “Bev” when they were shot down?' I was informed that due to the many losses, crews were cut to 9, and the radio operator did waist Gunner duty when needed. Rob Houston, USA.

For those that are interested in the process of researching our 1st KOSB veterans, I wanted to highlight one in particular that is close to my heart. Exhibit A: 'Unknown, undated Wedding photo of 1st KOSB piper' Many years ago (most likely the 80s) I went through my Grandad's photo album with him and scrawled a couple of dates/place names on the pages. I hadn't done it with this photo so knew nothing about it. My only clue was that the piper is also in my Grandad's Wedding Photo - and I presumed he was the Best Man. Wedding of Cpl David Morrison (Hawick) and Lillian Edna Thompson (Hull). Inverness, May 1943 When my Grandad died 20 years ago, my Grandma gave me his photos, medals and Glengarry/KOSB badge. I kept them safe and looked at them once in a while but still none the wiser. Eventually, I posted some on Social Media (Pinterest etc.) and asked a couple of Facebook groups if they had any information - nothing. *(Even up to the point of building this site in late 2024, I still had no idea who any of the people in the top photo were - and I added it to our ' Unknown Gallery ' in the hope that someone would spot something). THEN... The illustrious Jenny asked about my Grandparent's Wedding Certificate and if I still had it. Myself and my Mum couldn't lay our hands on it so I purchased a digital copy online from Scotland's People . Wedding certificate for D Morrison and L E Thompson One of the witnesses was a J P Adamson, living in Inverness. I couldn't be sure it was him as I knew the rest of the people in the photo and there is no Catherine McDonald in it. (So maybe just witnesses and not part of the 'Wedding' per se?). Trail went cold and we carried on adding new details for casualties, building pages and adding new records to the ever increasing list of Wounded.... Again, Jenny worked on checking wounded lists against our originals from WIG Wilson's book and filling in the blanks. *I don't think she even realised when she sent over some new entries for June 1944 that one of them would stick out in my mind. We finally had his service number and confirmation that a 'J P Adamson' was in Normandy (although why listed as Private is another story - Pipers are NCOs). We went back to Scotland's People and searched for his name and a marriage during War time. Bingo! We found one - and it gave his full name as well as the Bride and the 2 witnesses. We also had the date and the town of Galashiels as the location. James Pringle Adamson wedding certificate. (Partial) It was time to fire up Ancestry and see if anybody had Piper Adamson in their family trees! We found him in 2 separate trees but both members had Australia in their biographies. I hesitated but thought it worth a shot so sent a message to both. The next day I had a reply from a young lady in Australia saying, 'maybe, but not sure'. I sent her the photo, and a couple of the others I had of him and Grandad, and she said she would 'speak to a relative'. JP Adamson on the right, next to David Morrison. The lady came back to me the next day and said she's spoken to her father-in-law (his son) and they believe it is the same person. She sent a more recent photo of James back to see if I thought same. *She also confirmed he was 'tall'. James Adamson 1968, Australia. I shared the rest of the photos I had with them and some snippets I had found online. They also confirmed that the lady on the far right of the wedding photo was James' sister. We now had almost everything. The final 2 pieces of the puzzle were the location of the photo, and the chap in uniform on the left. (We believe his name is 'G.W. Caufield of Dalkeith' but haven't found any records online). * UPDATE: Gent on left is George Watson Caufield, born in Uphall in 1914. He was wounded in Normandy on 16 July 1944 whilst serving with the 6th Bttn KOSB. Service No. 3185873. Rank - Private. From the Manchester Evening News July 29, 1944 I posted the wedding photos and the information we had to a group on Facebook called 'Bygone Galashiels' and as well as a number of people saying they remembered the family, one person posted a photo of the outside of the King's Hotel in Market Street. The King's Hotel in Galashiels, present day. If we compare the brickwork and the 'bell', you can see it is the same place, and only a 5 minute walk from the registry office listed on the Wedding certificate. Wedding of Piper J P Adamson to Miss Elizabeth Telford on 14th April 1943. Taken outside the King's Hotel, Market St, Galashiels. Lady on right with is Groom's sister, Eliza Adamson. Gent on left is George Watson Caufield of Uphall and Dalkeith. So there you have it. With the combined efforts of people in England, Scotland and Australia, online and off-line, we have managed to not only put names to faces, but also share never before seen photos with a family member - WHICH IS THE WHOLE REASON I STARTED THIS WEBSITE :-) Thanks go again to those named above and also a special thank you to James' son, Jamie for sharing more little snippets about his Dad's life. (I consider us adopted 'family' now). Jamie Adamson and 1st KOSB piper, James Pringle Adamson, 1966. After all that, I think it's only fair that Mr Adamson has his own Special Mention page > here Anyway, that's just a small example of some of the 'mysteries' we've come across. We have also looked at the signatures on a 50F Franc note signed the night before D-Day, as well as the case of the US Airman shot by the SS whilst parachuting from his stricken B17 bomber. More to come in the next few months but these things take time - and luck! If you have any information on family members who served with the KOSB, or are interested in finding out more about what they did during their time in the regiment, please do get in touch. We can't always pull rabbits out of hats but we have managed to find things that have laid 'hidden' for 80 years. Richard Grayling 26th January 2025.

L'un de nos contributeurs, Rob Bowie, nous a envoyé quelques images d'un billet de banque français de 50 francs signé par des membres de la section des transmissions du 1er KOSB la veille du jour J.  La note a été conservée par le beau-père de Rob, Norman Bowie , et, des années plus tard, Rob a essayé de découvrir qui se cachaient derrière les signatures. Nous y avons jeté un coup d'œil, mais nous n'avons pas fait beaucoup de progrès jusqu'à ce que nous vérifiions les cartes de médailles des blessés au combat et que nous remarquions que, si le soldat survivait, il signait normalement ses cartes de médailles...  Cela nous a lancé dans une quête et, grâce à un bon travail de détective, nous avons réussi à retrouver les noms et quelques détails sur l'identité de ces messieurs.  Vous pouvez consulter nos conclusions ici Billet de 50 Francs signé par la section des Transmissions du 1er KOSB le 5 juin 1944

Pour aider l'armée britannique à augmenter son nombre d'officiers pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'armée canadienne a mis en place un programme selon lequel elle prêterait ses propres officiers pour servir dans les régiments britanniques. Le projet a été approuvé à la fin de 1942 et nécessitait au départ environ 1 500 officiers canadiens, mais ce nombre a été réduit à environ 625 au moment du débarquement en Normandie (principalement parce qu'ils étaient nécessaires à leurs propres régiments à ce moment-là). Au total, 672 officiers canadiens ont servi dans le Nord-Ouest de l'Europe, en Italie, au Moyen-Orient et en Asie du Sud-Est.

Il y a de nombreuses années, je suis tombé sur une entrée dans un petit livre sur le 1er KOSB en Normandie et il mentionnait qu'en août 1944, ils « jouaient de la flûte en l'honneur d'un aviateur américain abattu par les SS » Cela m’a intrigué mais, avec toutes les autres recherches que je faisais, j’ai dû le mettre de côté.. Des années plus tard, alors qu'elle recueillait des informations sur les blessés, notre chercheuse, Jenny, m'a envoyé une coupure de journal qui donnait plus de détails. Cela m'a lancé dans une quête pour régler les détails et découvrir qui était ce pauvre jeune garçon et quelles étaient les circonstances autour des événements. D’après ce que nous pouvons retenir jusqu’à présent : L'aviateur américain en question était le 2e lieutenant Thomas Lee Crow Jr (navigateur) à bord du US B17 (Flying Fortress) numéro de série 42-97353 nommé « BEV » en l'honneur de l'épouse du pilote, Beverley, volant au départ de Chelverston, Northants, Royaume-Uni avec le 305e. Groupe de bombardement/366e Escadron de bombardiers. Son équipage était : Copilote/Officier de bord, Sous-lieutenant Joe Robichaud Sous-lieutenant Wendell Terry (pilote) fait prisonnier de guerre Bombardier : 2e lieutenant Henry Schienhold Ingénieur de vol/mitrailleur de tourelle supérieure : T/Sgt. Chas Kittle Opérateur radio : Sgt. Frank Hollande Mitrailleur à tourelle à billes : S/Sgt. John Lanz Mitrailleur de taille : Sgt. Théo Meek Mitrailleur de queue : Sgt. Henri Richardson Ils ne revinrent pas d'une mission de « soutien de zone de combat » lorsque leur avion fut touché par la DCA au-dessus de Flers, où la 1ère KOSB et la division américaine Rainbow rencontraient une forte résistance. Selon les locaux français, le Lt Crow a été abattu par les troupes SS allemandes après avoir sauté en parachute de l'avion sinistré, puis enterré furtivement dans un champ proche du village de La Chapelle Au Moine. (2 autres membres de l'équipage ont été faits prisonniers mais 6 se sont évadés et ont repris leurs fonctions). Lorsque le 1er KOSB s'est installé dans le village de La Chapelle Au Moine et a été informé de ce qui s'était passé, ils se sont mis à retrouver le corps de Thomas et à lui donner un enterrement digne de ce nom. Le capitaine Edward Dishington et les membres de la compagnie de soutien du 1er KOSB ont transporté son corps à l'église locale, flanqué de cornemuses, et lui ont offert un enterrement militaire ainsi qu'un service catholique et protestant. Enfin, après quelques recherches sur Ancestry et l'aide précieuse du site de Joe Baugher, de Robert Houston aux États-Unis, de FindaGrave, Ancestry et Vincent en Normandie, ANSA 39 45 (association Normande Souvenir Aerien Orne Maine) nous avons trouvé une photo de Thomas et de sa tombe à Birmingham en Alabama. (Son corps fut rapatrié après la guerre). US Airman Thomas Lee Crow Jr (From Public Photos on Ancestry) Photo from Teresa Dutton-Goodale on FindaGrave J'aime penser que mon grand-père était l'un des joueurs de cornemuse qui jouait la complainte, Lochaber No More, alors que Thomas était transporté au cimetière, mais je suppose que nous ne le saurons jamais avec certitude. Corporal David Morrison, piper with 1st KOSB in Normandy Or his best man, James Adamson. Corporal James Pringle Adamson, piper with 1st KOSB in Normandy Bien qu'il ne s'agisse pas nécessairement d'une histoire sur les actions du 1er KOSB pendant la guerre, je pense que cette histoire montre l'autre côté des soldats qui est rarement rapporté, et le respect mutuel manifesté envers leurs alliés. 2nd Lt Wendell Terry (pilot) *Wendell Terry a écrit un livre intitulé « Lt. Terry's Christmas Fudge' qu'il a apparemment fabriqué à partir de colis de la Croix-Rouge alors qu'il se trouvait dans un camp de prisonniers de guerre allemand.

One of our contributors, Rob Bowie, sent us some images of a 50 Franc French bank note that was signed by members of 1st KOSB's Signals section the night before D-Day.  The note was kept by Rob's Father-in law, Norman Bowie , and, years later, Rob tried to find who the people were behind the signatures. We had a look at it but also didn't make much progress until we were checking medal cards for those wounded in action and noticed that, if the soldier survived, they normally signed their medal cards...  This set us off on a quest and with quite a bit of detective work, we have managed to track down the names and some details on who these gentlemen were.  You can view our findings here 50 Franc note signed by Signals section of 1st KOSB on 5th June 1944

We have dedicated numerous hours to gather a complete roster of individuals who perished in Normandy, as well as what we believe to be a thorough compilation of those who were wounded. The chart below presents a daily breakdown of these figures, including the major battles they are associated with.
