I agree with Jeff, these are really nice pictures - I can't wait to see the North African ones. But one question to Jeff - what is a 'c.c.' unit? I presume artillery, but I don't recognise the cc notation.

I certainly agree. A very enjoyable presentation. You are lucky your father documented his service for you and your family to treasure. Thank you for sharing and I am looking forward to viewing his experiences in A.S.

Pista!
