I'm a former member of 7 Royal Anglian and my grandfather served in 1st Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment 1925 - 1928 then again in 4th Battalion HQ company 1939-1945. Serving in Norway, Iceland and Northwest Europe.
Welcome to the Forum from a fellow 'Yellowbelly': brought up in the Spalding area. The 4th Lincs served in 49Div (as I'm sure you know) and alongside my late fathers Regiment - 24th Lancers - in lovely (sic) places such as Tessel Wood in Normandy.
Hi Polarbear and welcome from a son of a 7 Lincoln/converted to R.A. What's his name, so I can give you a copy of his name in the Lincoln's Nominal Roll.
welcome from another Yellowbelly! I went RAF instead of Royal Anglian but ended up attached to 1st and 2nd Bttns over the years
