Hello. Members may be interested to view a collection of Sgt. Alastair McGhee's photographs from his time with the 3rd Indian Armoured Division in Risalpur, Murree and Gardai Camp, Waziristan, 1945 - 1947 . Also included in the album are his formation badge from the 254th Indian Tank Brigade, with whom he served as a signaller in Burma, 1945, a pennant from the 3rd Indian Armoured Division, a 'Chindit's' patch, a ticket for the 'Rangoon Sweepstake', his service book and a few other items from the time. If knowledgeable visitors wish to leave comments about the vehicles or any aspect of the photos they are welcome to, with my thanks.
I've just pinched a picture of a photography on ebay: Can anybody identify the cap badge (from shape alone)?
have a look through some of the images that Bodston posted on this thread & cross ref with units in 4th Indian Div http://ww2talk.com/forums/topic/17532-cap-badges-of-indian-regiments/
Thanks for posting. I missed this the first time around. I also was interested to read the accounts on bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/19/a5396619.shtml Part I: Scotland to Burma http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/43/a5396943.shtml Part II: Driving to Meiktila, Central Burma and Life in the Jungle Cheers Maureen
Apologies if they've cropped up before, but there's a great set here of 4th Indian Division in Tunisia 1943: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1735281513384504.1073742364.1634742540105069&type=3
