On winding down
Slightly OT and late, but here's hoping. I have my father's service record (79th HAA Regiment RA). He was serving in Italy. It reads: Post Hostilities A Planning Committee CMF 27/8/1944 to 24/9/1944. (CMF = Central Mediterranean Force) Army Welfare Training Centre CMF 25/9/1944 to 17/6/1946. So, the CMF were planning to wind down in August 1944. I'm sure he was happy to swap a slit trench for a comfortable bed in Rome.
