Terzi & Corzilla India 1943
Permalink   


Can anyone help???
I am looking at my fathers service record and I see he hosptalised at erzi (Tersi) then transferred to Corzilla and back to Tersi, 10/2/43 to 22/3/43. Finally Embarking Bombay for UK on 27/3/43.
It would appear that after initial training(square bashing) at RDU Blackpool( 6/3/41) he was posted to 3 Sigs Sch and Biggin Hill before India 27/7/42 returning to UK and 10 OTU.
I am looking for info on TERZI( TERSI) and CORZILLA

thanks.
Paul

To update initial posting.I have looked at the service records more closely and think it is COMILLA. The handwritting is easily misread.
So my father went from joining up 5/3/1941 to RDU blackpool28/8/1941 then 10(S) RB then 3 Sigs Sqn  then to India from 27/7/1942 to 27/3/1943 returning by sea from Bombay to UK via Capetown.
He then  was posted to 2(0)AFU then 10 OTU , 41 base, 78 SQN,35 SQN and pathfinder force, then 47 group HQ, 46 group HQ and finally 100 PDC on 29/5/1946, leaving as flight lieutentant with DFC.

What were the RAF doing in India in July 1942 to March 1943?
I know he returned via Cape Town fron postcards I have.

You help is appreciated.

Thanks
Paul
