Thank to those who have responded. I'll try and get hold of the dimensions of the card, but based on the size of the impressed head of the drawing pin I would say c 6 x 4 in. Gnr Harrison started his military career in 71 (West Riding) Fd Regt RA(TA) (46 Inf Div (TA)). He was then posted to 57 (Newfoundland) Hvy Regt RA (Formed 8 Apr 40) and later transferred to 166 (Newfoundland) Fd Regt RA. Served with 166 (Newfoundland) Fd Regt RA throughout the Tunisian and Italian Campaigns until finally transferred (because he was British?) to 31 Fd Regt RA (13 Inf Div) in Greece 1945/46. He was demobilised in 1946. More details may come to light. Mike
