Go to the 'Welcome' tab to read about 'the Role of the 2nd DY' and 'Recce Operations'
My late father - Trooper Leslie Chaffe - served with the 2nd Derbyshire Yeomanry during the Second World War...from North Africa to Europe. He didn't like to discuss what he had seen, or done, but he did talk about the comradeship and the people he met.
Having found some of his old photographs I thought it fitting that they (and any that you can supply) should be made available to others and, hopefully, names can be put to the faces - 'Lest we Forget'.
I am the daughter of 7932559 Trooper R.E.BIRD

He served in the MEF then thro D DAY until war end. I know nothing about DAD'S WAR YEARS AS HE NEVER TALKED ABOUT THEM..my photos of him are when he was on leave. I remember him so often and wish I knew more about his Army days. Bridget

Hi Bridget...it seems to be a common theme...they didn't want to talk about the War just the people!
If you want to add your pics and anything you can remember it will be most welcome and perhaps we can all help one-another to fill in the gaps
regards
