There are alot more pages .. there's about 20 altogether.. but I am away from my dad's nowI can’t really add anything but really interesting looking through them.
There must be a local Royal British Legion or War Histories department that you could reach out to in the hope they could find someone to talk you through it?
Either way good luck!

I'm interested in the evacuation from force private .
What does it mean please because when I put that into Google it brings up Dunkirk but the dates don't correlate
Don't know to be honest. Private is his rank. As it's not on his injuries record I guess not due to wounds.
Going by the dates in his service record it was the same time he moved from India to Sudan and then spent roughly a year there.
I'd guess it's to do with him moving from being part of the army that was controlling India to becoming actively involved in the fight against the Germans in Sudan and evacuation might just be the word they use for him being moved in an emergency to help with the war elsewhere. Don't know if there was a similar problem of invasion in india as the Germans pushed on but as far as I know there wasn't.
