About

PLEASE NOTE: THIS WEBSITE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

This website represents the research that was primarily conducted by Daniel (Dan) Gross. The research itself is a labor of love and it is our hope it is both interesting and useful to the surviving Ritchie Boys, their families or anyone with an interest in their unique stories as well as to continue the legacy that Dan created. There have been movies and books written on this subject. The website and his research was originally focused on demographics of the Ritchie Boys, but as time permits, we will add other information and content to the website.

If you have any questions, or information on any of the Ritchie Boys, please contact us. You can see their names listed on the site already. But there is still a lot we don't know, and we would love to hear from you.

The original version of this website was created and maintained by Daniel (Dan) Gross. Without Dan's numerous years of dedication towards the Ritchie Boys, this website would not exist. Before Dan passed away, the website switched ownership and is now controlled by a group of "Ritchie Boy" experts. They are now the owners of this website, the domain, and its contents.

This website is not an official page of "The Ritchie History Museum".
