Sorry Mark,

Had intended to tell you, but was in a bit of a rush as I mostly am, guess what exciting work I have lined up tomorrow?
decorating the bedroom..the works

Now come on get a grip and tell the man what he wants to know what was that?
Okay, it was I`m pleased now to tell you the Carleton&York Reg.
So pleased to be able to tell you that . Have you heard of that Regiment? I now want to try and find out as much as I can about my dear Dads old Regiment and where he fought......

Though I knew he was in Italy and North Africa, where exactly? I couldnt say

But its another piece to the jigsaw eh?.
