Email I recieved :

I am in the possession of a number of films taken by Charles Louis Bandy, probably of the 764th R. S. Battalion.
He made many films in France and Germany of railways and trams.He landed in Marseille in August 1944, and stayed in Europe until approx. 1950.Mr. Bandy died in 1975.I produced a DVD that shows some of his films. Have a look at my film 'Wartime Rails" on this site
