    Smile Does anyone recognise these names...?

    I'm looking to find out what regiment my grandad was in. Unfortunately his dementia took hold and he cut up lots of important photo's from his time in India during WW2. Though we still have quite a lot of photo's nothing that tells us what regiment he was in :-(

    I've taken down a list of his comrades names in the hope that someone will recognise someone and can tell me. I'm going to scan a few photo's in soon as well.

    Albert Joseph Hampton Roberts, Dundee, Scotland Warrant Officer 1
    He has a bronze Burma Star (but from what i've read, these were quite common?)

    I think he was in the RAOC in Bramley, Hampshire in 1941
    Stationed in India for most of the war, sent to Cape Town for a short while
    Bomb disposal expert
    Was affected by the Victoria Dock bombing in Bombay
    Well travelled all across India

    The names I've collated are:
    cpl litten
    lcp heal
    walter foster
    bob phillips
    harry farrar
    david paris
    bob southworth
    jack grimes
    les long
    john gillies
    charlie neiberg
    bill bennett
    ron button
    jack pritchard
    stan firth
    brian powell
    admiral bunn
    harry hudson
    admiral brown
    taffy baynham
    george needham
    rip skinner
    ron kemp

    Michelle and the Roberts family

    Please don't post the same message in more than one forum, as it can lead to duplication of effort. I have closed this thread, and any answers should be posted on the other thread at
