Hi was wondering if anybody could please help. I have just found out that why my grandad was serving in North Africa his younger brother Percival J Bridges Leading cook (s) P/MX 58303 was injured in Egypt and spent time in a hospital out there. They then civilianized him and sent him to Durban South Africa to be sent home. He was put onto the SS Orcades which was hit by torpedo's. Sadly he was lost at sea if anyone could help me with any info would be very grateful.
Thanks Denise67

Hi my grandad  his number was 4672 name john Bridges & his brother Percy was at Stoney Stratford from 1930 to 1932 Mr Waller was great in finding my grandads documents we were surprised to see letters & other documents which helped us understand why he was there and what his life there was like. We also found out my grandad had stayed in contact with a Mr & Mrs Walmsley and a Mr Moffat there were also letters written to an uncle Bill from the home. In one of my grandads letters it mentions meeting up with a Piggy Middletone whilst he was in hospital Whilst serving in North Africa if anyones not sure about researching their relatives Fagan time please dont hestitate although its through sad circumstances that their placed there not all information is horrible if anyone remembers my grandad or his brother we would love to hear from you many thanks Denise67

Hi both his pay book & service book both say ROAC but it does say colours are they the same thing until we recieve his service history from MOD we won't know for sure. Do the buttons on his photo match the ROAC uniform. My mum does have some different photo's not dress uniform i'll have a look to see if they match. When he enlisted he was in Cavalry of the line if that makes a difference.
Thanks for reply's.
