Pte. Sam Crossley Haswell
British Army Royal Army Service Corps
from:Middlesbrough
I am in the process of transcribing the diaries of my late father, Sam Crossley Haswell, who served as an electrical engineer in the Middle East, North Africa, and Italy from 1942 to 1945, having sailed for Bombay from Liverpool in November 1941 on the SS Duchess of Bedford (which was being used as a troop ship). He recounts his journeys, work and leisure activities throughout 1942 and 1944, and mentions the names of many colleagues. He has also left many photographs.
