I think my Dad started off in this regiment, as you looked at the attached picture he is on the left hand side. He then seems to have been transferred to the Norfolks, will have a look at his service record when I get home, that is if I can understand it
It is possible that he transferred to the Norfolk Regt.in Aug.1944 when 118 LAA.Regt. disbanded.The only Norfolk Btn serving in India/Burma was the 2nd Btn in 4th Indian Infantry Brigade. Jim
Hi, just had a look at your picture, my dad was 118 L.AA. sent to India. Have studied it quite closely, sadly I can't see a face I recognise. I have nothing of my dad at this stage of his life, and would have been too much to have hoped for. Great picture 'though, you are very lucky.
