knowlegable brummie
Can anyone tell me what the Army Pay Corps were. I have a picture of my dad in a uniform. He looks extremely young. He was born in 1930. The picture looks like its from 1945-1950. He never told me he was in any type of military organization. Thanks ~ Linda

1930 as was, Clint Eastwood, Rolf Harris, Neil Armstrong, Steve McQueen Gene
