Squad 128Z, 51st Training Regiment, Catterick Camp. May 1942

I enlisted into the army in May 1942 and was sent to Catterick Camp, joining the 51st Training Regiment (attached is a photo of my group - I am on the back row, 4th from right). From there I was sent to the Bovington R.A.C. Depot, and in December 1942 embarked on the Queen Mary, heading for the Middle East.
