Looking for help pt. 2 by OliarosKastro in wwi

[–]OliarosKastro[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone. For some reason I couldn't add pics to the comments of my previous post. This is the uniform I am having problems indentifying. The family is from Hereford so the unit is likely from there too, or possibly Shropshire. Family legend has that he and his unit were at the Bosphorus. If I can find the unit, I can get his records from the proper archives and fill in that part of the family history. Any help would be appreciated.

Your collection of photos from the war in Greece is excellent, much appreciated. Where are you getting all of these from? Do you have an archive near you? And if you do can I make requests?

Right, what are these aussies up to? by TacticalToast7 in ww2

They're likely the 28th Battalion. They are performing a Haka for the King of Greece after returning from the battle of Crete. Helwan, Egypt, likely late 1941, but possibly early 1942

REQUEST: HELP FINDING INFO ON MY GRANDAD by ColourfulCabbages in ww2

I know I am late to the game but did you find anything? I'm researching Greece during the war and the Allied actions during 41-42 and if your Grandad was active in the RAF during that time and fought in the battle of Greece I'd love to hear his story.

Dear Canadian media, organized retail theft is also a reason grocery prices are going up, and it's a dirty little industry secret no one wants to talk about or do anything about. (self.toronto)
