Thank you.
That's the first time that I have had any link at all to someone who would have served alongside my dad. He told me they went up and over the Rhine to Bremen then down to Luneburg Heath. He claimed to have seen the incident where Mills-Roberts snapped the German officer's baton.

I did get a copy of Geoff Tudor's book, which also matched what Dad had said about the training up in Scotland.

My dad was a radio operator in the 1st RA. All of this info matches what he told us over the years, so I'm glad to see it verified as the details are hard to find. Afterwards his unit went out to India and then Palestine (I have the photos) but I can't find anything about this on line anywhere.

I'm apparently named after his best mate in the RA.
