Title: World War 2 Help !
Post by: jo293 on Friday 04 July 08 16:37 BST (UK)

Hi all Rootschaters

Can anyone help me trying to find my fathers regiment,
 snag is i know very little  about about his time in the army. 
 He  was stationed at a camp  near Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire in about 1944 until 1946 the camp was called Proteus 
                                                                                                             
I have rang Army Record,s Office and  they are sending me some papers to fill in and it will cost £30 I  have got everything to identify him with his birth cert and death cert but not regiment he was in  he was a batman to a colonial  if only i knew the colonial,s name ?
 that fine but is there anyone out there that can help me in any other way 

Thank you

If you can provide a service number then we can tell you which regiment he enlisted with (which may not be the one he stayed with)

And this is Proteus Training Camp, or atleast what is left of it:
