Hi Drew,,,It was fantastic to see those war diaries !!!  I had sent you a pm before I saw your latest post. I will check my Grandads service records and see what date he was serving up to...I know he made it to Italy,,but not to Greece. I would love copies of the relevant war diaries. Thank you very much for posting.  :D

Hi to everyone who has been posting information about the 110th. 
I haven't been on this site for ages and I didn't get any notification that there were further posts.  I'm gobsmacked - I have many photos of Lancashire Quay and a number of them are exact copies of those that have been posted on here.  I'm also thrilled to see my dad in one of the large group photos.  If my memory serves me well, one of the officers in the photo is Neil Westbrook.  I've got quite a few photos of men who served with my dad, so I will scan them and post them on here - perhaps someone will recognise them.

Hi

it would be great if you could download some more photos of Lancashire Quay. You mentioned a hospital in Le Harve, do you have any information about this please

Hi Gortonboy
I've had trouble uploading the photos as most of the files are too big - need to work on reducing the sizes.  It looks like I'll have to post the photos I have over a number of days.  Hopefully, these smaller ones have your granddad in.
