I think the second sergeant from the left back row is my Dad, he was in N. Africa with RASC, I have done facial reccognision check between this photo and my christianing photo  in March 1946 and it's a 94% match although the guy in the desert has a few more pounds on this may be due to the injuries Dad suffered since N. Africa and the three meals a day he got there. Anyway, I like to think it is him.

Unfortunately not him, just conformed he didn't make A/U/Sgt until after the war, best would be L/Cpl or Cpl

I know that is now a long time ago,    but  search your lofts 
and your  relatives  photograph  albums before it is too late.

There will not be many men and women  still living who served in North Africa  during WW2.

It would be interesting to know how many  women  served in North Africa.

These are some lovely photos.

My Grandfather was in the R.A.S.C. and served in North Africa, Sicilly and Italy. He was involved in the planning of the landings in North Africa. I rescued a good amount of documents after he passed away and I even have his pass to the AFHQ at Caserta.

My father Joseph Powell, known as Roy was a Driver Mechanic in 612 Company. He served from 1940 to 1946.   He is middle row, second from the left of the pic.

The best pic ever.
Would anyone know the name of the soldier on the end right?
