1st Battalion KOSB in Denmead

Prior to the D-Day landings, the 1st KOSB were stationed in Denmead in the New Forest.

The day the official War Office Photographer (Sgt Woolridge) chose to visit - 29th April 1944 - was also my Grandad's (David Morrison) 21st birthday.

Here's a few photos from the Imperial War Museum's online collection.

Here's a google map of Creech Wood near Denmead where KOSB and other members of 3rd Infantry were based.

Happy birthday, Grandad. Wish you could see the website.
