A Hunch Confirmed

On the 6th of this month I posted a couple of pictures that seemed to relate to my father's wartime work with a RN bomb disposal unit. They show a bunch of sailors standing round a large hole in what I assume to be Romney Marsh (because that's where I know he was stationed) and the very big bomb that  came out of it.  Today I unearthed this...

It clearly belongs in the same sequence- and that's definitely my father in the centre in the naval officer's cap.

Here's what's stamped on the back...

These are fascinating photos. My dad used to show us kids color slides (projected on a sheet hung up on the wall, of course) of his first (early 1950s) Air Force tour in West Germany, and his year in Sondrestrom, Greenland. Great memories.

Colour slides would have been cutting edge in the early 50s.
