2 Battalion Gordon Highlanders

Hello All
Trying to find ANY pics of the 2nd Battalion Gordon Highlanders from 1946 when my grandfather Pte William Bleakley served with them. They sailed from the UK aboard the troopship "Regina Del Pacifico" to Algiers, Here they boarded the "Princess Kathleen" which took them to Tripoli before finally reaching Palastine. ANY photos especially Regimental ones would be much appreciated.

regards
Weejock

 

Hi Weejock,

Have you contacted the Gordon Highlanders Museum in Aberdeen?

According to their website they have "rich store of primary source materials"

Research Service: The Gordon Highlanders Museum, Aberdeen

 

Hi,
I have sent several emails to the museum asking if they hold any regimental photos from the period I require but as yet I have never recieved a reply..!!
I hope to get up at the start of next year for a visit

Thanks

Another avenue is to contact the adjutant at the OTC at the bridge of Don barracks.

 

Never thought of that one!!
