A/Major D. B. Close R.A.S.C. (E.F.I) (Jun 08 Red)
Between the 1st January 1942 until 29th November 1943; my father,with the rank Acting Major D. B. Close: R.A.S.C. (E.F.I.) was based in Orkney. From the little information I have he was in the N.A.A.F.I. but I have no idea where that "camp" might of been. I have in my possession two photographs of him taken with his officers and men during that time. One of the photo's has a mount, on which is printed Sinclair, Kirkwall (photographer). His Personal No: P 110288 - nothing in his Officer's Record of Service indicates any Regiment he served with or was attached to, prior or during that time.Would there be any way of identifying the N.A.A.F.I personnel/or records for the 1942 -43 period?

Prince, Perence (Apr 08 Red)
Am interested in the Prince/Perence family originating in the Orkney Islands, possibly Kirkwall. Beginning in sixteenth century, ancestors possibly relocated to locales throughout Scotland (Edinburgh)and Northern Ireland (Antrim), and some descendants eventually arrived in U.S.A. (Pennsylvania)and in Latin America. Have some documentation from a family Bible.
