Armed Forces / Re: Which service/regiment please?

Hi mmm45
If you look close at the teapot it has 1940 written on it. It looks, from the clothes they are wearing to be in the winter so I would have been about 3 years old when it was taken and have no personal memories  but do remember my late mother telling me dad was on his way home from the Orkney's when the ship was bombed. If you look at my posting a couple of days ago you will see the results of my research so far.

The attached photo may help somebody in their search for information. I think have the photo attached but am not sure if it is, there is a note saying that "you may need to reattach any files you attached"
so if there is no photo can somebody tell me how???.

Hi Cheekymole.  I have been searching for information on my father whom died on 18/05/1941 and is buried in Aberdeen (Trinity) Cemetery his name FRANCIS GERRARD CROOK his Regiment was the Royal Artillery Rank Lance Bombardier Unit 182 Bty., 65 H.A.A. Regt.  I believe he was on The Troopship Archangel when it was bombed on 16/5/1941, he was picked out of the water and then died two days later. I was a very young boy then.
I do have a little more information but that can come later.
Regards Glenor.
