| Hi at all,
I am trying to find my father Mr. Thomas Curtis, he served in an Irish regiment I think it was the Royal Irish Fusiliers in the early 6oth in Iserlohn. At this time he stand in a relationship with my mother Anita Klare.
Tom went back to Irleland before I was born in March 1961, my mother told me so.
Can anybody remember him...please help.
Kind regards
Matthias Lang |

It seems that there was only one "Irish" Regiment in the Iserlohn area in the time around your birth, although the details on the main site are by no means complete.
The Royal Ulster Rifles (1960 - 1963) were in Aldershot Barracks. If you contcact the Regimental Museum they may be able to help you in your quest, but don't bank on them being forthcoming for one reason or another. My request for information was answered with try again in 6 months.
