Hi everyone. I am hoping you can help me, I have been trying to trace details of my grandad who died before I was born. Nearly all of my photos of him are whilst in the army. Only recently I have got his service records from Glasgow and I am trying to find out where he served etc.
Using his picture I have as my profile I can see a 8th India badge and the picture with the date 17/4/44 on his casualty list. I have been trying to read his casualty list but it’s hard. I can see he served from 1941-46 in the artillery. Left the uk on 23/4/43 and got the war medal, star and Africa and Italy star before coming back 27/6/45. His number is 13103022. The pictures are too big to upload on here but i have created a google album with the link at bottom of post.
Looking at it he served with 52 field unit RA. He was from Salford.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As I have no clue about the codes and handwriting.
Thanks
Gary
