Cap Tally (25 Oct 02)
Hi there,
Came across your website whilst looking for cap tallies and found you..
I collect cap tallies and was wondering if anybody has an original HMS EXCALIBUR
cap tally for sale. I would pay all costs.
If you can help me that would be great , and if not, well thanks anyway for a very
interesting website.

Memories from 1945 (6 Jun 00)
I have been told there is a history published of the Army Camp that was in Alsager where I did
my driver training in the Royal Marines in 1945. Could you tell me where I could possibly get
some information about this history? There was a mention of the library, but am not sure how
to contact the staff there. I am now living in Canada so to visit would be very difficult.
Many thanks,
Donald Clarke

HMS Excalibur - Jerry Anderson (27 May 00)
I have been doing some family research and discovered that my uncle was at
HMS Excalibur in 1946 - in fact he died there (possible suicide)! I would be
interested to know anything about HMS Excalibur - is it where Excalibur
Primary School is now ? When my uncle died I presume there would have been an
inquest - if somebody could let me know details of the local coroners or
which newspaper might have covered the story I would much appreciate any
information. I should explain that I do not live in the area and have never
visited Alsager therefore I have no local knowledge.
In anticipation thanks for any help.
