Joe Carr's website CAMERONIANS - BUXTEHUDE 1954-1956

Cameronians.org website-  Unfortunately the Forum at the site has been taken offline. I do not know if it, or its historic contents will ever see the light of day again. No notice had been given about this and unfortunately there were lots of valuable contributions now lost forever, and there seems no chance that they can recovered.
