Hello There. I am retracing my Fathers (Glyn Harris) ww2 Army movements.He was in the 7th Armoured Division,with 142 and 621 Field Squadron's,and seemed to have moved around a lot.Then in May/June 1941 he was transferred to the 56th Field Coy and went to Iraq.Can anyone out know anything about this,and what would my Father's involvement in this. Also I have 1941 WO169/? 1942 WO169/? Help Please Many Thanks Jazz
If you want to know the war diary refs post the units he was with and the dates and I'll post them up for you. Cheers Andy
Hello There Drew5233 Thanks for your reply.As I am new at this,so you will have to bear with me. I think he started off in the 141 Field Squadron in -9/7/40 to Egypt,then to Greece- 2/3/41,P Beach- 25/5/41 then to Crete-26/441.then to Egypt- 29/4/41.Then attached to 56th Field 11/10/41- to Iraq on the 26/6/41.Then I think he was posted to 621 Field Squadron. As per my previous Mail I'm looking for any info. Hope this all makes sense Jazz

Hello There Drew 5233, My humble apologies I have just noticed on my last Mail I put 141FIELD. WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 142 AS IN MY FIRST MESSAGE. PRESUMABLY THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE jAZZ
