    Anyone researching this unit?

    I have been asked by someone at work to investigate. Their relative (CSM Crompton) was stationed at Moorpark School, Renfrew, Scotland, circa 194. That's all I was given to go with!

    So far I have discovered they were at Salerno and at Anzio, I think with 21 Beach Group. They seem to have been in the thick of it, with quite a few casualties and decorations.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks
    Anthony
