Thanks,

I'm sure we'll find that he was posted to the LIR end August time, that would explain the changes to the letter address, certainly the changes fit in with parts of his later unit details ie 15, 78Div etc.

I'm struggling to find anyone with a copy of the 2/18 war diary, will keep looking.

Pete

Lawrence died in 2006 Leeds area

Hello, I'm just recently registered on this site because I would like to know more from anybody who has a story to share about soldiers of the London Irish Rifles, WW2.  I am researching the whereabouts of one Rifleman Lawrence A. Armitage, age 19 in 1943 who was in Italy after Tunis.  His gravesite is not recorded with the CWGC nor can the LIR Museum give me the how's and where's of his death,  They can only guess he was MIA or killed as a deserter, which I don't believe in this case.  His serial number was: 4694638 and he served with "D" Coy. No. 4 Bn and also 9 Sec. 15 Plt. "G" Coy. 2nd Bn. If there is any old soldierr out there or relative or person in the know, I would like to hear from you.  Thank you.
