    My Grandad served with the 78th Div Ordnance Field Park R.A.O.C throughout the Italian campaign, his service record has the following locations recorded;

    76 P.d Egypt (26/07/1944 - 31/07/1944)
    65 Transit Camp Il Grafo 11/09/1945

    Both entries are related to leave, could anyone provide locations for either of the above?

    Many thanks.

    Hi Nicks
    I do know that 56 Recce (part of 78th Division) were taken for a rest and refit around July/August 1944 at Quassasin Camp in Egypt.
    Don't know if that helps?
    Could it be BD BaseDepot

    Lesley,

    Qassasin seems to be the likely location in Egypt as I have just found mention of it in 'Algiers To Austria' which I did not have to hand last night. I think you are also correct regarding BD, on closer inspection of the entry on the record I can just make out a faint ink mark forming the B.

    Thanks for your help.
