    Notes:

    Eldest son

    He was mentioned in dispatches around 23rd May 1946 - a notice was published in the London Gazette on that day. Captain ( Temp ) DAG Douglas - Royal Artillery. ? we would love to know why?

    I think he was in the 85th Mountain Regiment Royal Artillery. He was admitted to hospital on 15th Oct 1944 - cause unspecified and relinquished his post of adjutant on that date and resumed the post on 23rd November 1944. He had previously been discharged from hospital on 4th October 1944 and again was reappointed as adjutant.

    He enlisted on 15th August 1940 and his commission was dated 26th April 1941. On 1st October 1942 he was appointed W/s Lieutenant. On 21st June 1943 he was appointed A/Captain. On 30th October 1943 he was appointed T/Captain. He was Adjutant 21st June 1943 to 13th July 1943 and again 26th July 1943 to 26th August 1943 and again 24th Sept to 13th Nov 1943 and 22nd July 1944 to 1st Sept 1945.

    He served in the Middle East -, Iraq and in the Italian Campaign. I remember him telling me once that they were sent out to fight at El Alamein in Egypt, but by the time they had rounded the Care the Battle had been won and his regiment was redeployed from Egypt to Iraq to prepare for the Italian Campaign. I know he had Basuto Service Men deployed with him to pull the guns over the Appalachians (sic) with their mules which proved a linguistic and logistical challenge.
