B.L.A. BOXING TOUR MAY 1945
Posted: Mon 31 Aug, 2020 1:04 pm
Hi,
I wonder if someone could help me, please. I'm trying to find information about the British Liberation Army Boxing Tour in May 1945. I'd like to know what it was about, where it was, which of the services were involved, who any of the participants were. I believe my great uncle, and also my wife's grandfather, would have taken part in it as both were physical instructors in the RAF during the War. My great uncle was a British ex-lightweight boxing champion in the 1930s.
Happy to provide more information if anyone thinks they can help.
Hope everyone is keeping safe and please continue to do so.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
