Austro-British Society Carinthia

This page will go live after the AGM. It will offer a brief description of the stories the history team are currently working on, some or all of which will eventually be published separately.

They include:

  • The B.T.A. Bus Tour (full details here)
  • Scanning of B.T.A. army newsletters
  • Montgomery in Austria (1946 and 1948)
  • The Loibl Pass Incident of 25 April 1948
  • The story of Amalia Preißl of Krassnitz, Carinthia, who married Private John Kelly of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in 1947 in Krumpendorf and went back to Scotland with him
  • more coming …

We have also published two stories on our Gesucht wird page where we have come to a bit of a dead end, and are awaiting further inspiration or serendipitous discovery.
