Default Re: Trying to locate a copy of 112th (Wessex) Field Regiment

Dutch Post Mark 31-III-08.
So yes pretty quick.
Just reading of their OCA meeting at the Goddards Hotel (now closed) & how alot of the originals were GWR Works men (now also closed).
As I said before we used to use the old Royal Artillery Drill Hall in Prospect Place for the Parcel depot for Royal Mail. That has been demolished and it's now flats.
I think the RA badge is still on one of the car park gate posts. I'll have to check.

I've looked up their casualties and there were a few Swindon men there but I expect alot of the originals were posted away before they went into action in Normandy.

Thanks again.
Did BFG get their copy?
