genem Posted 2 February , 2014 Share Posted 2 February , 2014 My first post and very much a new boy to researching military history.... I am trying to find information relating to my Grandfather, I have some of his photographs, he is shown in and about a fleet of Peerless 3 Ton trucks. The unit was 346 MT Coy according to a photo of a grave ( his friend George Daniels). My GF was Albert Skarrott. What sort of role would 346 MT Coy ( "Pride of Struma" according to another photo) have been doing and is there any chance that a unit war diary still exists ? Thanks in advance.

genem Posted 3 February , 2014 Author Share Posted 3 February , 2014 MiC ? Certain about Salonika, I have pictures from there and Egypt en-route. A Berkshire boy, in civilian life he was the chauffeur for a family of Grain Merchants in Cork. Married the Cook, sensible chap. Not sure where this was taken, nothing written on the back, but that's a fine pair of "Empire Builders" his mate is wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
