Hi I am the daughter of a soldier who was wounded in France following the Normandy Landings. I have just found out he was in the 15th Scotish division. He was injured in Operation Bluecoat with his best man. sadly his friend died of his injuries and my dad although having recieved a wound to his head survied and came home. I still have the tin helmet complete with bullet hole and the telegram sent to my Mum to inform her of him being injured. Both my parents have now died and I would like to find out more information about his regiment or any thing. His name was Charles(Charlie) Wright and my Mum was Amelia (Millie/Mim) nee Biggs. The Best man was called W d Merry. My mum and dad also got married during the War on 15th January 1944. any info would be appreciated thanks Lynn Freeman

Hello Fred, thank you very much for your answer! You've helped me a lot with your information, and I'm really looking forward to playing Back to Normandy's a very inspiring work!!

"Hello Fred, thank you very much for your answer! You've helped me a lot with your information, and I'm really looking forward to playing Back to Normandy's a very inspiring work!! I feel confident that the auditorium will be as impressed by this piece of music as our orchestra is!"

I'm looking for info about my great-uncle Major Robert B Arnold. He grew up in IL, but enlisted from Middlesex County NJ. He served with the US Army 207th Field Artillery battalion and was KIA 2/24/45. Buried in the Netherlands. I just received several letters he had written home, also some documents from my dad.

I'm a serving member of 438 SQN RCAF and the unit historian and archivist. My compliments on your incredible web site!

Beautiful and deep Dear Fred, I'm a Christian in the United States and I wanted to tell you that I listened to your music. Your music is beautiful and deep. You must be a man with a very deep heart.. Thank you for inviting me to hear it. God has gifted you. In Him,

As a lyricist, I have collaborated with Fred Vogels on several occasions & found him to be a competent, original & highly talented composer. I would highly recommend him to my fellow colleagues.

Hi, Fred! Wow, I am truly impressed with your music! It's absolutely beautiful. I sure do wish we didn't live so far apart from each other -- I would certainly love the opportunity to work with you. It's always been one of my dreams to sing with an orchestra! I especially love your jazz arrangement of You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to. Market Garden is very moving, indeed. I'm not closing the book on our possible collaboration in the near future ...

Hi: On June 6, 2016, for my 85th birthday, my late wife took me to Normandy. It was a trip I will never forget. I was 13 years old when D-Day occurred but I remember it quite vividly. My brother served with the USAAF as a ball turret gunner on a B-17. When we arrived at the Military Cemetery at Normandy, and as I walked among the rows of marble crosses and stars, all I did was cry. It was the most emotional visit I have ever made. I will never forget that trip, but more importantly I will never forget those men who made the supreme sacrifice for me and every other person who is alive today. I served with the U.S Air Force during the Korean Conflict. I enjoyed your presentations and I wish to thank you for all you do and have done to make certainly that no one, and I mean no one, ever forgets what we went through during the l940's.

Thanks again for you do.

Sincerely,

I was very much surprised to see the photo and contents of your page identifying the Halifax XXXX bomber on it's last flight over Germany. It was a very personal moment as my Father F/O XX was the navigator on this flight. When shot down, he and all the crew parachuted to safety. The pilot Cooper was killed in the incident. We are not sure if he went down with the plane, or died on the ground after parachuting. The crew were captured and sent to Stalug Luft I until the end of the war. The Flight Engineer died in the camp.

As a 3 time deployed American Infantryman, and an avid history and World War enthusiast, I thought it would be a nice addition to your great site, I used it in looking up all the info I could find in my Great Uncle, because I grew up hearing the stories of what kind of man he was, and his heroic actions up until his death over France.

Thank you for the site!

Dear Fred... I think your tracks are amongst the best I've heard. As someone who deals a lot with vocalists who require backing tracks, kind Regards, Rick Toner Voicebox Productions Ltd Napier New Zealand 646 844 0955 http://thevoicebox.co.nz Published with permission
