WW2 Recce Squadron 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards Newsletter & Unit History Group

A scarce WW2 newsletter & unit history group that belonged to WW2 Recce squadron 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards veteran Cpl Cecil ''Ginger'' Marley, N.W.Europe.
The group consists of a May 1945 dated letter from the 5th Dragoon's society informing the recipient that their long overdue first issue is soon to be despatched.
A 33 page newsletter (May 1945 period) with notes from A,B,C and Recce squadron, with illustrations and photo's throughout, also a 16 page newsletter (no.1 issue) incorporating a large illustrated fold out section that tells the story of how a British P.O.W (captured in 1940) made his escape from a Stalag (camp) and how he kept evading capture.
Finally, the 120 page 1986 softback publication ''First in, Last out'' the history of the Recce squadron in which ''Ginger'' Marley's name is mentioned, an account of when his tank was struck by a mine.
A wonderful glimpse into the lives of British frontline ''Tankies''and their hard fought battles in Normandy, Belgium and Holland, always up the front.
The cover to one of the booklets now slightly grubby/dirty and creased but remains intact, a very informative read.
