Can someone please translate a query?

[BJanman]

Hi

I have received an email but do not understand it. I am presuming it is a query although there are no question marks in the text. The only part I think I've worked out is that it is something to do with a school project about McDowell Norman Kenneth . Can someone translate it for me? If it is a query then I would like to help if I can.

Thank you.

Barbara

Beste,

Wij zijn 2 leerlingen uit Ieper en hebben een schoolproject ivm met soldaten uit de eerste wererldoorlog. Onze opdracht bestaat eruit om een soldaat uit te werken, McDowell Norman Kenneth is onze soldaat. Wij hebben vernomen dat deze persoon op 25.8.1916 naar het RAMS depot gemarcheerd heeft, nu is de vraag of dat u ons kan helpen in dit project met wat info over deze soldaat.

Vriendelijke groeten

We are two students from Ypres and have a school in connection with soldiers from the first wererldoorlog. Our mission is to create a soldier to work out, McDowell Kenneth Norman is our soldier. We learned that this person 25/08/1916 marched to the depot has RAMS, now the question is whether you can help us in this project with some info on this soldier.

Kind regards

wereldoorlog is world war. they have obviously chosen a soldier to research and need some help about him. Should RAMS be RAMC? Unfind a MIC for this man in a quick look and he does not seem to have been a casualty.

I think they may mean Norman Kenneth McDowell, of the Australian Army Medical Corps according to CWGC.

Thanks for the replies and thank you poppy3 for finding him, I haven't had much chance today as shortly after I posted I was called away by hubby - it appears it was a good day for clearing out the garden shed

Norman must have served with the 14th Australian Field Ambulance [AAMC]. I know the unit was attached to the 14th Australian Brigade of the 5th Australian Division and I found this on him but I do not research the Australian Medical Corps so hopefully that will help. I hope they can read English.

Thanks again

Barbara
