    Looking through my Father's RASC collection of stuff from WW2, there is a Christmas Menu from 17 BSD with sub units listed as Port Detachments: No5, 6 and 18.

    I have done a search under RASC/RAOC threads listed here with nothing found! Can anyone pinpoint where 17 BSD was located? I suspect UK! With 3 Port Units enjoying the menu, I presume they were close by?


    Thanks
    Alan

    Thanks for the NA ref. Maybe time to first get Dad' Service Record, then see what else is not known!

    The location of 17 B.S.D on one document was listed as GENEIFA M.E.F Egyypt (SW of Great Bitter Lake).
