Same place, possibly Greece again, but with other comrades in arms ... all looking fairly cheerful but battle / work hardened.....referred to / described in our album as "The Quarry Gang "

Sorry, no more information than " Torre Again " .. looks like N. Africa which ties up .. but the only Torre appears to be Morocco ... which doesn't tie up !

Johnnie Wood is on Left.

Safecontractor. "Torre" will  probably be Torre Anunziata. The 110th were there, as my dad spoke of it several times. It's in Italy.

Sorry, spelling is incorrect. It's Torre Annunziata and it's near Pompei. My dad talked about visiting Pompei.

I think their uniforms don't match with Italy ...!!! ... there is a Torre Anyera at the Northern tip of North Africa which is more likely, perhaps .... but can't find out more !  Have other photo showing Dad with another R E friend, but no indication of who. Dad on right.
