Title: Egypt 1946
Post by: Curtis on Thursday 07 September 06 09:01 BST (UK)

I am trying to trace my grandads (Arthur Stuart Curtis dob 28/5/1906) war history and  trying to ascertain which regiment he was in.

The only clues I have are:
He was in Tel-el-Kebir, Egypt 1946.
He looked after POW's
A small photo contains a reference to V.D.U Disposal.

From this limited info, can anybody help me  ???

Hi Curtis,
Have you checked the National Archives site.  If your grandad survived the war you may need to visit www.veteransagency.mod.uk/service_records/service_records.html
to apply for his service records.  If you 'google' tel-el-kebir you'll find out more about the place
