Charles Henry Pritchard did come back to the UK in October 1940, as part of the Australian Army. He came home to North Wales, but was dressed in a different uniform.

World War Two / Help with the uniform and possible regiment.

These is a relations of mine, it could be Arthur Pritchard b. 1904 or his older brother Charles Henry b. 1896. Charles Henry did serve in the British Army in WWI, by giving a false date of birth, he went to Australia in 1924 and joined the Australian Army in WWII, by giving a false date of birth. Arthur went to Australia in 1927 and served in the Australian Army in WWII, first in Palestine then Papua New Guinea. The first picture is the one I would like to identify, the second is Charles Henry, and the third is Arthur.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Help with Arthur Pritchard

Hello, I would like to have better images for my Granduncle Arthur. He was from North Wales, but emigrated to Australia in 1927. He fought in the Australian Army in WWII, serving first in Palestine, before ending up in Papua New Guinea. I have his 5 WWII medals, and they are to be displayed in a frame, alongside a picture of him in uniform. The  pictures have come out a bit grainy, please help to improve the definition? Can the height chart be taken off the last one?
Thank you,
Tarnwater

I have come across a distant relative named Leslie Charles Long who was killed on the 7th July 1944. He was part of a SAS group that were captured and killed under the commando order, given by Hitler.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Understanding the post
« on: Saturday 26 February 22 20:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, Yesterday I asked for help in locating an address on the 1939 register. I did not ask for a copy, or anything that I consider might be breaking any rules. All I requested was a name, and year of birth. Then it would help me to look it up. As it was, the answer that I was given, proved useful, and I managed to find what I was looking for. I apologise if I you think I  broke any rules..

The names are the wrong way around for the two men on the left of the picture. John Robert, Fireman, is the young man, born 1918. The man on the far left is Stephen McCallion, Bosun, born about 1885, fron cairncastle, Antrim, N.I.
