Hello all, Joined yesterday was was rude enough not to introduce myself. Avatar is of my old fella who was in the 53rd recce, died in 2000. Uploaded some photos which may be of some interest and could perhaps shed some light on dark areas out there and over here. Cheers Hughes
Welcome to the forum, I'd say it was one of these. C15TA Armoured Truck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The C15TA Armoured Truck
Hello and welcome to the forum. My late father was with the 4th Recce in Italy and Greece. Not sure on the make of the vehicle, but I am sure that it will be identified quickly. I now see that Owen has identified it whilst I was typing. Well spotted Owen. Regards Tom
Cheers Owen, I'd say you've hit the nail on the head. Not sure when this photo was taken but I suspect it was after VE day.
Hi and welcome to the forum. As Diane said there is a lot of Recce interest here. My father was at Alamein with the short lived 51st (H) Recce. Regards, Tom.
My Uncle was out in the Desert, not sure who with, but he did get himself captured, managed to escape and find his way back to friendly lines seven days later! His other claim to fame was shooting down a Stuka from the back of a truck!
Welcome Trpr Hughes, keep putting the photos up and I would love to hear some more about your Father.
My uncle was out in the desert, not sure who with, but he did managed to get himself captured, escape and find his way back to friendly lines several days later! His other claim to fame was shooting down a Stuka with a Bren from the back of a truck! Queens Own Hussars! It's written there you dang fool!
Welcome to ww2talk ... What a dashing looking chap your uncle looks and in deed ... ironed out a few wrinkles for you.
