Would I get a copy of his service records, I could only supply his name dob and address?
I'm still browsing WW2 threads, you never know what you'll come across on RootsChat, it's a great resource.
Thanks

Thank you, ScouseBoy and Regorian...all interesting observations. I feel I should know more about his time there but the relevant documents haven't survived the ups & downs of life.
He was a good singer and probably kept the boys entertained with his Mario Lanza songs.

I have no information at all, Drew.
My Dad survived the war but died when I was young.
There may be a slim chance that someone will have an ancestor in the photo, who could possibly supply battalion or unit info. The photo has postcard details printed on the reverse, so I suppose it was given to all the men to send home, maybe.
Regards.

This postcard photo has several signatures on the reverse, including my Dad's. I have no information other than Iraq 1942-43 is also on reverse.
The original photo' is in a sad state, some of the names being difficult to read but will do my best:
Norman Lemm (Wolverhampton)
Albert Hislam (Leeds)
Len Sheasby (Birmingham 21)
Bob Knowles (St. Helens)
Dick Lockwood & other (London)
Eddie Hunt.
Chadwick (Bolton)
Roy Ellen
It would be great if someone could add any information....I don't have any army record details. Many thanks.
