Pte. John James "Irish" O'Hara

British Army 30th Btn. Royal Northumberland Fusiliers

from:Spennymoor, Co. Durham

My father, John O'Hara, joined the 6th DLI in 1939 was transferred to 10th DLI. After Dunkirk he went to Iceland. After returning to the UK he was eventually transferred to the 30th Btn. RNF. He was in North Africa in 1943 then onto Italy then eventually to Malta where he stayed until the end of the war.

When in Italy he told me he was running ammo up to the casino and would spend a lot of time seeing the sights with the Yanks. In Malta his truck, which we have the photo of, had Donald duck painted on the doors. He left Malta in 1946 and returned to the UK.
