Terrific - thank you.  I know he was in NA, Italy and Austria.  Things are starting to make sense now.  What i am thinking is, that he was in 153 haa ra in England and when he was posted he went to 78 Division.  Where did you get the 78 Div history Page 231.
I really appreciate your help in this matter.  I am digging out some more photos to see if i have any more info.  thanks again.

Thanks for your help englandphil.  It is a starting point, but i still need to find out what unit he was in.  His records indicate H.A.A. R.A. 153, but i am curious about the sign on the tank.

I have a badge also that is from
 Royal Artillery

Hi Craig,
I too have the same dilema.

I am related to you in this manner  :)
 Francis Chorley was the Brother of Harriet/Herriot, Can you please advise which one married Thomas Lovebond from Nympton, Devon Marriage date is 14/6/1827?


My Dad, Arthur Montague Chorley b 1923,

his Dad Arthur montague Chorley b1893,

his Dad Arthur Montague Chorley b1870,

his Dad William paramore Chorley 15th April 1841 Exton Somereset,

his Dad Francis Chorley 12/7/1803 (Yeoman) Exton Somerset.

His Dad William/ mother Joan Collard??? or william/joan langdon??? Another Family member has the Collard connection,  have you moved further forward?

My Great Grandad and his wife Sussanah may Mort moved to Derby in the Midlands and thats how we got to Derby.

Please get in touch to discuss the above.
Best Wishes
carl chorley
