Hi Donald

As another 78 div man may I give you a hearty welcome to the site.

I started off in North Africa and joined the 49th Light Ack Ack. They were eventually disbanded in December '44 when I was retrained in Rieti to be a "tankie" in the 4th Queen's Own Hussars, but that's another story

We will talk more when we both have time.

Cheers

Ron

Moderators.....a question...... Where is Donald's Veteran status ?

ps
Have just returned from six days in Prague and am catching up on my e-mails and numerous postings on various WW2 websites.
