Sorry Team

Couldn't resist bringing you some further incoming mail from this campaign. 

You never know one day a major display could emerge from these sheets. 

Enjoy

i am trying to record the CM No 1964

Can I check some details on the second cover, regarding the sender's address? Was it GC Radcliff, Radcliffe or Ratcliffe? Also, did he give his rank as Lt, as all I can find on FWR are drivers and gunners. The signature on the face looks like FG(?) Radcliffe. There is a Lt FGW Radcliffe, 8 Bde RFA, but he was serving in Egypt apparently.

Finally, does he actually state 123 Bde RFA, as Daniel allocates CM3/1964 to 124 Bde, which was also part of 37 Division. 123 Bde he has allocated CM3/1963

Hi Alan

Reverse of said cover attached, also hopefully enlarged scan of cover front.  I take the L at beginning of signature to be Lieut.
