Info & Photo from his daughter Sandy Dewar, with thanks
Albert Goebel and his
brother Louis Goebel's
pictures above,
also Emil Hauser,
are from Albert's daughter Jill, and I thank her for them.
All are thumbnails and can be clicked to enlarge.
I didn't have her dad listed here, and apologize for that.
some notes and stories from Jill re her Dad.
" I recently accompanied my
dad to the 67th anniversary of the liberation of Holland, which is where
he was when Holland was liberated. My Uncle Louie, dad's brother was in
Italy during the war. Uncle Louie died in the 1960s, but I think Dad has
a picture of Uncle Louie as a soldier. Dad actually is in very good
shape and he read the
Act
of Remembrance at the Holten memorial service this year.
My dad, Albert Goebel, was with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps,
1st Canadian Army Troops. He was stationed in England and then in
Belgium and Holland"
My Uncle Louie ( Louis/Ludwig) was with the Royal Canadian Army Medical
Corps and was stationed in England and Italy.
My dad has shared a story
with me. He indicated that after the war in Europe was over, mid 1945,
he was in a restaurant in Scheveningen Holland, having a bite to eat,
when he looked out the window and saw two soldiers, one who he knew for
sure, as the individual was from Neudorf . He quickly got up and went
outside, catching up to them. The one soldier was Alfred Schweitzer and
the other was another fellow from Neudorf, Anton Ohly. They decided to
go to nearby bar for a beer. As they were going into the bar, they ran
into another soldier, also known to everyone. That soldier, Albert
Hollinger, also from Neudorf, was just coming out. A fifth soldier,
Walter Wirth, from Neudorf, was still in the establishment, so they all
went back in to spend a bit of time together, five soldiers from
Neudorf!" |
