I am trying to piece together my fathers movements from the very brief service records I have. I know he started off in the Beds & Herts, then the Royal Signals and for the majority of the war in 2 SS Brigade Signal Troop of which I know he fought during the Salerno assault in Italy (2 Commando & 41 RM) and France with at least 45 Commando post D-Day. He was then sent to East Africa 22nd Jan 1945 and in March posted to Field Training Company and Depot, from there he was with "310 Light Regiment" where he stayed until 1946 and then returned to civilian life.
I have tried exhaustive searches for 310 Light Regiment and East Africa but cannot find any reference to this unit? I know from what he told me he was injured out there and he learnt Swahili fluently. I am not even sure what conflict was going on in that part of the world during 1945 - 1946
Any information would be appreciated.
Regards Vic
