Hi, please can someone help with my dads' army info which I have come across it is as follows . SPR Topham b.1910 d.1977. Army No 4801473 23 Mach spare parts (base) Sec RE,
R.A 18/4/1940-8/9/1944
GSC 9/9/1944-27/12/1944
RE 28/12/1944-212/1947
My dad only ever mentioned India and I have a handbag (my late mothers) which has the Taj Mahal on it My puzzle is there is among the paperwork a train ticket with NSB Voss MJ0LFJELL on it. I have checked it out, and it is from Norway, was my dad stationed there at all as he never mentioned it?

Sorry for long info as it is a long time since I have been doing my family tree due to my late husband's illness and death last year.

Lincolnshire / New modern microfilm reader in Grantham library
« on: Saturday 10 June 23 14:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Anyone interested in Grantham area, they have now a very modern microfilm reader in Grantham library.

You do however require a USB stick for downloading anything from the reels as this is printerless.

You can then print from library computer at 10p a A4 sheet or download to your own laptop or PC/Printer from your memory stick.
