Looks like the 110th pulled rank, or begged, borrowed ( possibly stole ??? !!!) a nice boat for the afternoon ... or were they really well connected ????? .... nice to see this 'though, don't you think ??

Johnnie Wood is R H side of middle row..............

Really great to see all these. My grandad never made it to Greece. He used to drink in the Midland, as he lived not too far from there. I will forward you the 1939 war diary....When I find it !! I can't seem to remember which memory stick I have it on. I think my grandad had stopped going to the reunions by 1988. Thanks for posting all the photos. Brilliant !!!! 😉

I have just looked at my copy of the 110th mailing list as of August 1989 and the name at the bottom is J Wood with an address in Knutsford.   R C Gerrard is also on the list.
