No dates on the photos.  I assumed Salonika, as the photos are the same size, quality, colour, shape etc. as the ones taken at Lancashire Quay.

LamBowes :

Thanks again ... photos of group have my Dad 3rd from right, 3rd Row ... never seen these before !

You've raised a query in my mind about the funeral pictures .. Dad was a driver and perhaps he was driving the second truck in cortege.. . if it was the 110th ( and it probably was ).. it shows the same type of truck .. see picture below of Dad ........we'll never know ! ... or the way these pictures are going ....???

Sorry everyone :

No info on this at all .. looks like an American truck.. notice that lights are shrouded and it has been towed.... background looks European ... possibly UK / France ?

GortonBoy (Mike?) ....

..........just had a review of the photos on here as well as comparing to ours ... your first query regarding location of Band ? .... I have the same photo and its designated " Newtyle, Scotland  1942 " ....... Hope that helps and I know LamBowes ( Elaine ) was querying the same.........

Best Wishes Topper

That photo of a truck just further up this page looks like an Austin to me.

Can you see  the "A"    at the middle of the bonnet?

It's a Canadian-built Dodge model TL-110 I think.
And the one above that looks like a Badford MW 15cwt from the cab.

3rd Corps - photo of 'Frank' would either have been taken in France before Dunkirk (St. Nazaire in respect of the 110th) or Greece in 1944.
