Salonika.
Group in the second row on the far right is Johnnie Wood (far right); probably Nobby Clarke (middle) and Bill Lamb (not looking at the camera).
Topper has this photo labelled as 'Hut 10' in his dad's album.

Hi I have just located my grandads tracer card and it was googling some of the codes in it I found this thread.  It would seem he was in the BEF 21/10/1939 and then discharged under KR1940 but on the second page there is the following Ylist (E6/110ELATcoy) 10.1.42. It was the reference between the brackets that brought me here.

it is a fascinating thread and ive scanned all the pics to no avail im not even sure if 110ELAT relates to the troop in this thread however one of your pics states they are in Falkland Dundee, and I know for a fact that my grandad was up in Falkland long enough to move his wife and son (my dad)  up there an have another son up there. Does anybody know what they were doing in Falkland, from the pics it seems like they moved on but im positive my father etc was up there for some time

any light anybody can shed on this would be much appreciated.

thanks
Steve
