I was called up in May 1942 aged 19 and joined the Royal Army Service Corps.After six months we were on the Troopship going overseas but our trucks never arrived as they were on another ship which was sunk. WE landed in Algiers in North Africa in November 1942 and were given brand new American trucks which lasted us a long time during the Campaign. After about a year we moved to Italy and were there for about 9 months then it was on to Austria. We served in Greece for a while before being sent home to be demobbed. So many memories to think back on that were good, some bad, some sad, some funny. I am 88 years old now and have just got my first lap-top and i am just learning how to use it. It would be nice if i could get in touch with some of my old Army mates although it may be a bit late in the day now or maybe some relatives could help. |
