204950 Pte. George Murray British Army Air Formation Sigs. Royal Corps of Signals from:Leith, Scotland My father, the late George Murray, served with the Air Formation Signals. He volunteered for service in 1939, spent some time in Ulster and Shetland and was then posted to N. Africa (initially Algiers). He later served in Sicily and was at Monte Casino.
His war-time letters to my late mother were lost/destroyed many years ago as were his campaign medals - 39-45 Star, Italy/Africa Star. Defence Medal etc.
I am keen to identify details of his unit and its service and, possibly, to obtain replicas of his medals.
My late father had a lifelong pride in serving in the Signals - he had a black tie for funerals and a Sigs tie for every other day. He was married in uniform and I can have a copy of the wedding photograph, I also have some pictures of my father on leave in Rome in 1944. I believe he spent some time at Bari Camp in Italy.
I would be pleased to receive any information on the Air Formation Signals and, of course, contact with any former friends would be a bonus. Thank you.
