Hi Bernard, Sorry but we don't have the earlier one just yet. I'll put in a request for my father to pick that one up on his next trip to the National Archives.
Most interesting (especially Part 2 of the NW Europe Series) Am I correct in assuming TC stands for Traffic Control? But VP?
They wore a blue cap cover as opposed to red and wore the following sign: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30072106
cmp, I am very interested in the history of 179 Ports Provost Company. Could you please tell me how I can follow their progress from Algiers to Naples (and beyond?)? Thank you.
Hi, I don't think CMP has visited for some time, so you may not get a response unless you send him a private message, he should get a email alert. The unit has a few war diaries at the National Archives and these may be worth considering if you don't get a reply from CMP. WO 175/1214 179 Company (Ports) 1942 Nov.- 1943 June WO 169/13260 179 Company (Ports) 1943 July- Dec. WO 170/3570 Port Provost Sections: 179 Section 1944 Jan.- Dec. WO 170/7008 Provost Companies: 179 Company 1945 July- Oct. Not to sure where Jan-Jun 1945 though. Good luck with your research Andy
