Pte. Francis Rodgers

British Army 2nd Btn Black Watch

from:Sheffield

My Father, Francis Rodgers served with the 2nd Battalion of the Black Watch in 1945. Does anyone have any information regarding his service or any of his battalion?

I have some photographs with information on the back@ Paratroopers - 2nd Black Watch R.H.R volunteers. Dropping into Rawal Pindi 1945. Picture of Dad with 3 other soldiers - taken at Malir swimming pool, Karachi. Picture of Dad - left sleeve insignia looks like airborne Names on back of photographs were Sellars, Cutts, Hart.

Additional Information:

My Father, George Henry Sellars served with the 2nd Battalion of the Black Watch. I believe he did his training at Berwick on Tweed, light infantry. I think he enlisted in 1942 and was de mobbed in India in 1947. I think the Sellars in your photograph must be my Dad. I have a picture of a soldier and the information on the back is Byford B. Another picture sent to my Father reads "To my dearest Pal With All My Best Wishes Doug". Another picture reads to George from Jos or Jose. I have 4 pictures with no information on the back.
