The photos with the Unit band relaxing don't have anything written on them, so I have no idea of the date or place.

The photos of the band playing in what looks like a small dance hall, don't have anything written on them, so again, I've no idea of the place or time.

I'm getting to the end of the photos that are small enough to upload.  I'll have to work on reducing the others.  Also, I keep getting kicked out of this thread.  Very frustrating!

Sorry, I've tried to upload a photo five times now and it keeps timing out.  Will try again on Monday and I'll shrink the others to below 500kb in the meantime.

Great to see these. Although I did post one photo of the band, my grandad was never actually in it. But I'm still loving seeing these. Thank you for posting. Looking forward to seeing more.  ;)

Sorry, I must have got the wrong end of the stick. I have other photos., some with small groups of men. I can't currently see all the posts on this thread, is your grandad in any of the photos that are posted on here?  If so, can you identify him and I'll see if he is in any of these others.

I'm staggered .. spent years trying to trace my father's army unit and found it today .. here !!

He was John Alfred Wood, known as Johnnie / Woody, and was a driver ... went with BEF to France, was at St Nazaire / Nantes and said he was evacuated from Dunkirk ... closed trains to Leeds .. then to Dundee and Dunoon ... posted in 1943/4 (?) to N. Africa ( Sousse ), then Italy .. photos in Salonika and assisting with Vesuvius eruption. Dad died here in 1989 at the age of 81. I often attended his re-union at the Belle Vue Hotel in Manchester in the late 80's and met his Captain, Gerrard, of the well known Swinton building company, Fram Gerrard, along with many others

Gorton Boy ... dad is 2 down from top, 2 from Left on your Nantes picture and 2nd from Left & second row up on your Dundee picture .... his mate, Alex Milne from Aberdeen, is 3rd from R & 2nd row up, in Nantes.

Have many, many pictures of that era of the 110th  and will post a few... if anyone wants more info, please contact me via Board or Direct.

This picture shows Dad driving in Nantes 1939 ... judging by uniforms they must be just arriving in France

Best wishes ...Topper
