Hello Adam

Nice to see your taking great care of your grandfathers papers, i don't have as many as that but it makes good reading through this stuff especially when you have an interest in this era.

I'll look the photo's out if your interested but I think my father was in C company but I can't be sure.
I know he did go on about the fighting he took part in around Battipaglia in Italy, I would be interested if you have any information on that if you have it.

I'll P.M you my e-mail if you want to contact me, feel free to and I'll send you some photo's, I don't know if this site would appreciate me taking up their memory space but if any one would like copies just get in touch and I'll send them over, they're mainly of soldiers, names unknown unless anyone could identify their relatives, maybe the battalion museum have photo's of the regiment of that time, but I'm sure they had time or the inclination to do so.

Hi Everyone

Just thought I would add my dads involvement  to the the thread on 7th ox & Bucks, he was at Enfidaville and Salerno and I'm sure he said he fought around the airfield there. I know he went on to Monti Camino which is where he was wounded and out of the war for about a year I think.
I remember him saying that a lot of his mates were lost at Camino and when he returned to the war he was put in the 2/6th Queens.
I would be interested if anyone has some photo's to compare with mine so we could put some names to some faces.

Hi
You could try St James the less church, Barrack St, Dudderston, I had relatives who lived in Railway Terrace ( later I believe changed to Lawford st )
I had a number of relatives who lived in Railway Terrace and St James Place , Dudderston who were baptized there as it's just across the road from what was Railway Terrace.
