He also told me he ferried very large number of tanks to the Russians through Iran after being withdrawn from the North African campaign.
Yes, my eyebrows were raised by this comment as well. 2nd Division sent out on 'Empress of Canada' 1942, out there until 1945. No home leave. My mother nearly died with worry.

Just reading James Holland’s book ‘Burma ‘44’. What a brutal campaign and often overlooked. Absolute respect to the many who fought and died there.
