RAF vehicles

[Allan Hillman]

Hello Les

I am taking the notation from an "Allocation of Vehicles" listing dated 13 July 1944 - when based at B.11 Longues-sur-Mer, where they had arrived on 24 June 1944 - stating "Given below is the final allocation of vehicles for all future moves of No. 125 Wing in "A" and "B" parties."

This is slightly different to the "Allocation of Vehicles" list as they moved to the Concentration Area as that is not broken down into "A" and "B" parties. But Dad's truck has the same driver and reg. no. in both documents.

Dad's truck was driven by Cpl Hall (John Marshall Hall) and I share his middle name - it is in his memory - as he died two months before I was born in 1946.

He was the first person that my father spoke to when he joined 125 Wing Signals and they remained firm friends until John's death.

Up to now I have prioritised on the Wing and Squadron history, but these Ground Echelon documents have only recently come to light on the web.

cheers

Allan
