My father's diaries 1940 - 45; Western desert and Italy

Many thanks to members who have patiently answered my queries, and helped with my research as I have transcribed my father's diaries. My intention has been to preserve his words, and so I have created a website to make it easier to read what he wrote.
If you would like to read it , it's here:

It covers his time, with the 3rd King's Own Hussars in Egypt, Libya, Palestine, Syria, and Egypt.
I hope some of you will enjoy it.

 

maisiefosse,

That is a wonderful tribute to your father, congratulations. I have had a quick glance and will visit again soon.
Thank heavens for the ukulele.

Very very nice work, thanks for doing that.

In Section 1: Giovanni Berto should be Giovanni Berta. The German light tank at Tobruk is actually an Italian M13/40 medium tank.

All the best

A most valuable record, well written and beautifully organised and presented. A fine tribute and a worthy memorial to your Father, and to the 3rd King's Own Hussars.

It is a privilege to read it and pleased that a copy is available through this Forum.

Regards,

Joe Brown.

 

I've enjoyed reading your posts, and think the website is terrific, well done, it;s a magnificent piece of work and thanks for sharing.

 

Maisie,

Being a bit parochial and all that, loved reading the Italian section.

Great photo of the Monte Oreste tunnel area by the way - my Dad's mob had a fine old time down there in early June 1944.

That is a wonderful collection of material.

 

Fantastic job and such wonderful pictures as a memory.
