Service history for SW Bracebridge - Royal Artillery 224245

You’re right Alistair. I was reading it as 867 but I agree it is 86Fd as all the other entries on the page end in Fd.

Thanks.

Steve

 

Thanks for the explanation - really helpful and makes perfect sense

 

Thanks Steve - the link to the WS Convoys is excellent as matches the dates in his personal diary seems to suggest he changed ships after Durban as we know he proceeded to Arden then on to Cairo - nice to tie up different sources of information

 

Thanks everyone - really helpful and very much appreciated

 

Yes but very helpful nonetheless as I did not know that officer numbers were sequential whereas army numbers were in blocks so more traceable - thanks

 

Just incase you don't have it, his marriage was reported in the Biggleswade papers in 1942. Best man was his friend Bdr T. Owens.

Hi Helen,

WW2talk had a bit of 'bother' a good few years back with the site you mentioned before-a link here:
