222837 Pte. Robert Thomas British Army 1st Battalion Durham Light Infantry from:Middlesbrough I am researching my father Tom Scollay's history for a school project that my grandson has been asked to carry out at his school in Singapore. I am also carrying out research into my family tree for him. I have photos of him in the 4th General hospital in Ranikhet India (I think it was 1944). I also have a certificate on him leaving the Regiment dated 24th November 1936 (Blackdown) which doesn't seem correct given that he was in India in 1944. I have searched as many records as I can online but I can't find anything at all anywhere. I am looking for a photograph of him where he is wearing sergeant's stripes. I also have his Service and playbook which has the following details:- Birth 17:11:1910 (should be 1911), Trade: Electrical Engineer, Enlisted 25:11:1929. Distinctive marks and minor defects:- Oversea Service 2/178 A&S Group No 18. He was listed as living at 15 Victoria Road Grangetown, East Yorkshire, Middlesbrough.
