Hi

Just come across this message board. My Dad - Albert Ernest SNELSON -  was also a member of the 110Th Army Troop coy RE East Lancashire. He told me he served in France - St. Nazier, Greece - Salerno, North Africa, Sicily, Italy and then de-mobbed in Austria.
I also have several photos of a quay side where some sort of ceremony is being held (soldiers dressed in short so possibly Lancashire Quay? I need to dig them out)
Don't know where the attached photo was taken.
Albert Ernest SNELSON is third row up, fourth from the left

Hi

I have found a group of Dad's (Albert Ernest SNELSON) army photos and have selected a few from the dedication ceremony. A plaque laid in Salonika Greece 'Lancashire Quay reconstructed by 110th East Lancs Army Troops Coy Royal Engineers 1945'. My dad can be seen on a couple
