Eddie Eccles

British Army 31 Field Regiment, 105/119 Bty. Royal Artillery

This photo was possibly taken at a works station, Eddie is positioned front row seated 3rd from right.

I have some photos from the camp which include my father in law Eddie Eccles (105/119 battery of the 31 Field Regiment R.A.) who was caught at Tobruk on 15th Dec 1941 whilst taking part in the great Battle of Halem Hamza in the Libyan Desert.

Understandably Eddie was reluctant to talk about his experiences so I would love to hear from others who may have knowledge of the battle and times of this Field Regiment during this period in the Libyan Desert and also at Stalag 8B.
