Pte. Arnold "Knobby" Clark

British Army 41st Light Anti Aircraft Royal Artillery

from:Keswick

My father was in this unit in the 2nd World War. He fought in Italy; the Far East; France & Palestine.

We would love to find out more about his unit,he is now 90yrs old & things are a bit hazy for him ,we would like to know if there are any photo's of this unit & where we could get them.He once told us how, when in Palestine, he & his mate Bert Crow, decided to dry out some tea leaves & swap them with the Arabs for some dates, (thinking they were being clever!) the deal was done & they scuttled back to camp with their ill gotten gains, only to find that the so called fresh dates were rotten & riddled with ants!! They said they had learnt their lesson, but,I bet, they still tried it out again somewhere else!!

If anyone can give us info on these "likely lads'" unit we would be really gratefull, thank-you & take care
