World War Two / Re: Help with missing information on dads army career.
« on: Friday 03 May 24 21:11 BST (UK)  »
Hi tonepad, After your message my son looked at the ticket through a magnifying glass and looked for the embossed number at the top, and I am sure that the info reads 421976 which having given some thought one of my brothers was in the army in the 70s and went to Norway whilst serving, so I believe it looks like my dad put the ticket with his paperwork.

So I am sure you have solved the ticket problem.

Many thanks for your help, much appreciated

Hi ShaunJ Thanks for your information about my dad.He was an engineer in a Grantham factory before the war, so that is probably the reason he went back into the factory called Newman's which incidentally was next to British Marco's who were making ammunition etc plus Ruston and Hornsby's until dad returned to the army in 1944.
The only thing that puzzles me is the Norway train ticket I have.

Regards

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.
