Hello , I just found a couple of photo's of a pen friend of my late mothers and thought it would be interesting to know which regiment. The group one says on the back " taken at Camp 163 , Haifa , April 1946 . The other I guess was all his postings and movements . Regards Alan
Hi Alan I think you may need [if you can] to provide a little more info than the above, and as one cant zoom in properly onto the photo its very very difficult to make any sort of stab at which Regiment it might be TD
Well I am presently dealing without 5 different searches at the moment, and it takes a lot of time A possible Maybe check out what Regiments were in that area just post war British Units 1946-48 | India | Britain's Small Wars Camp life - British Forces in Palestine TD The National Archives Palestine 1945-1948 WO 191 War diaries and headquarters records WO 275 6 Airborne division papers
Here is the front photo of all those postings on rear .It says 42 at the bottom , I presume 1942 ? Regards Alan
2nd Battalion, The Sherwood Foresters moved to Haifa in Palestine in early 1946 so it is more than likely this is battalion in the picture.
Hello, my grandfather was this regiments captain during this time, I have a lot of photos and I can check if you like
A location statement of 1 Inf Div dated 21 April 1946 confirms that D Coy 2 Sherwood Foresters was at 163 Transit Camp, Haifa so I think Tricky Dicky is correct.......... Dave
