Gnr. Fred Slater 92nd Field Regiment Royal Artillery My granddad, Fred Slater (Left side in photo), is sadly he is no longer with us and he never really talked about his time during WW2.
After finding his service number after his passing I have been able to locate his service records from the MOD and received them a couple of weeks ago.
Having spent time looking through the records and decoding the military abbreviations and can now confirm he was in the 92nd Field Regiment, Royal Artillery for the last 3 years of the War serving in Sicily, Greece, Italy and North Africa as well as Germany towards the end of the war.
If anybody else from the 92nd recognises either my granddad or the other gentleman in the photo I would really love to hear from you.

L/Sgt. Leonard Leslie "Chalky" White 113th Field Regiment Royal Artillery My father enlisted in TA 1937 at Shoreham by Sea Sussex, and was posted to 113th Field Regiment Royal Artillery at Worthing in Sussex. The Regiment was part of the 56th London Division, known as the Black Cats. Until 1942 he was posted at Foots Cray and Dover in Kent, then the Division was mobilised and he went by troopship to India, then Iraq, Middle East, then North Africa, Sicily, Italy including Salerno. He transferred to 92nd Field Regiment, RA following short spell of illness.
He saw action at Anzio, Carigliano, then went to France and Germany via the Rhine Crossing and Luneberg Heath. He was part of the Occupation Force until Oct 1945 when he was demobilised.

Sgt. Ernest Walter Maylin 365 Battery 92nd Field Regiment Only recently started to look into my grandfather's military career. I have discovered that Ernest Maylin was involved in the defensive action with the BEF throughout the month of May 1940. He was injured and captured 31st May 1940 and after healing was transferred to Stalag VIIIB on 28th Jan 1941. As to what else happened I have no idea, but I would like to eventually find out who he bunked with during his time as a POW.
