220864 Bmdr. Thomas Leslie Delaney British Army 60th (Middlesex) Searchlight Regiment Royal Artillery from:Bradford, Yorkshire My father Thomas Delaney lived in Bradford West Yorkshire and served in the Middlesex Regiment during WW2, which he survived. He told me he was on the searchlight batteries. He appeared to be stationed at several cities around the UK, but notably at Golcar above Huddersfield, when the garrison was at the Huddersfield Town football ground on Leeds Road. According to his diary he departed Southampton on the 26th of November 1944 for Ostend before going on to Nijmegan in Holland. He returned there in 1945 following the end of hostilities in Europe. He also served in Belgium during this period and Plettenburg in Germany from August to October 1945. He was billeted in empty houses in Rotterdam and a sugar factory in Pattershock. I also know he stayed with a Dutch family. I have enclosed some photographs. One shows the training camp at Towyn and the other at Rotterdam in 1944. Also his diary which may give a feel for how meticulous he was. I now realise I was conceived when he was home on leave in August 1945 before he returned to Germany!
