Paddy apparently changed his allegiance and took up with another Unit!

LamBowes.....

Thanks for all your info and I'm pleased to post the Gill & Bill picture ( looks like a different "Bill" to above.....
....my Dad did mention Bizerta to me a couple of times but it meant nothing ... perhaps that's it ??
...Salonika .. many pictures in the album showing the harbour with sunken ships.. along with The Regents visit ... plus Independence Day march....
... Thanks for identifying the picture in Southampton.

Regards ... Topper

Thank you so much John.  I have this exact photo, BUT all my dad has written on it is "Greece" - I now know what Gil Almond looks like!

GortonBoy ... pleased to see your reply ... some more info :

Reunions ... I think the first I went to was in the Rising Sun pub on Queen Street / Brasenose Street, near Albert Square in the early '80's in Manchester, and then the location was moved to the Midland Hotel at Belle Vue on Hyde Road ..

........see group photo, we think it was 1988, as my dad died in 1989 .. my Dad Top Row 2nd from right ... on front row 1st Left is their old Captain ... Mr Gerrard, an extremely nice and pleasant man ... don't know the ladies !!!!!.... I have about 6 other photo's I took at this particular reunion.

War Diaries .. please.. would love to see them if you can get them to me via the Board or P.M.
