World War Two / Royal Corps of Signals
« on: Monday 08 January 18 18:00 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to research what my dad did during WWII. Unfortunately he died a few years ago and would never talk about the war. I've got his war record and here's what it says.
2345067 Acting Lance Corporal John Humphrey O'Donovan - Royal Signals
1st Depot Battalion 30/5/40
1st Operators Training Battalion 30/6/40
8 Corps 16/12/40
Base Depot & School 14/5/41
6 Line of Communications 24/5/41
7 Armoured Division Signal Squadron 26/10/42
7th Armoured Motor Brigade Signals 2/12/42
Special Communications Unit No 4 11/4/43
Released to Territorial Army Reserve 28/4/46
His work in SCU 4 looks interesting but very hard to research.
Any help, suggestions gratefully received as I seem to be going in circles.
