World War Two / Pioneer Corps, 42 Coy, France
« on: Thursday 30 November 17 22:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I've recently received a copy of my great grandads WW2 service records.

However, I'm finding it really hard to find anything about the first unit he was assigned to: no 42 a.m.p.c coy.

It says they disembarked for France on 13/11/39.
And then he was 'evacuated from BEF' on 28/05/40.

Can anyone recommend any websites etc or share any info that might help me with my research?

I would really just like to know where he was or what he might have been doing in those months from landing to being evacuated.

Thanks in advance, Abby

Armed Forces / Help identifying uniforms.
« on: Wednesday 20 September 17 10:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have a photo of my great-great-great grandad (man in the middle) and would love to find out a bit more about him. Can anyone help me identify his uniform / badge?

The thing is, he was two month shy of his 44th birthday at the start of the war so would have been considered too old for any kind of service. He lived in south Northumberland if that's any help.

Also, can anyone identify the uniforms of the other two men?

Thanks in advance, Abby
