Hi all I'm new to the Forum and this is my first post. I am a collector of SA WWII medal groups and love the research part of it where you can literally bring a soldier long gone to life for a brief while. I am currently on the lookout for info on the above unit as I have a group to a chap who was a Forcasting Officer with them in the Western Desert. Does anyone have any detail for me? It would be gratefully received. Regards Rory
Rory, Hello and welcome to the forum. I wish you well on your research and am sorry that I have no knowledge on the weather front so to speak. I am sure that someone on the forum will be able to help. Regards Tom
Rory, welcome aboard. Only basic info, but its a start (if you havent already done a number of google searches) Can I suggest you post the individuals details P
Hi chaps Thanks for your words of welcome. The chaps name is Ralph Ellis Gillmer (in answer to englandphil) - he was seconded from the SA forces to 13th Corps RA in the desert and spent plenty of time with 122 Mob. Met. Unit. Any info or details would be appreciated. Regards Rory
Hi Rory and welcome to the forum. Good luck with your search. My ex G/F's grandfather was a meteorologist in the RAF during WW2 ... It was quite shameful listening to her and her mother taking the p**s out of him that he never thought during the war. You could see the look on his face was resided to not even trying to explain the importance of his work because they'd never 'get it'. Regards Andy
