Dear Threetowners
Mr Hugh McCallum has generously invited me to post this request....
Did you know James Mortlock? Can you identify anyone is the attached pictures?
I am researching my family tree and have found several photographs of interest.
The photographs above relate to my late Uncle James Mortlock, his service pals and acquaintances.
James was born in Beckenham, Kent. He lived most of his adult life in Portsmouth, Hampshire where he worked as a Guard for Southern Railway
During WW2 he was a "Gunner" in Royal Artillery, 213 Anti-Aircraft Battery which served in UK, Cape Town, Egypt and Italy.
I believe that he shipped out of Greenock in 1941 for Cape Town and may have been billeted in or about "Threetowns".
I know that he regularly visited Saltcoats after the war and may have done so to reunite with friends he made in the area in the 1940's
If you recognise the name James Mortlock or anyone in the photographs attached I would love to hear from you.
Many Thanks RCM
