Hi,
Is anyone able to help with info on the Buffs in Italy.Trying to trace 6292567 Sgt Leslie Frank Coomber who served in the Buffs (not sure what Bn).
Only location I have is a photo of him in Bari dated 9/9/1944, I think whilst on leave.

Not sure of when the Buffs went to Italy and if they had actually fought in North Africa before. Do not know Leslie's medal entitlement unfortunately.

Also know that he was in Trieste at the time of his demob in Dec 1945.

If anyone could also suggest any books that the Buffs in WW2 are covered in, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Alan
