38 Battery WW2

Hi Chris,
I have just found my Father's name, W.K. Holdsworth, on your website, he was a Lance Bombardier in 38 Battery with the 14th Anti-tank Regiment during WW2. There is also a photo of him in your section of pictures taken at Haifa in 1945. Dad had copies of two. The one of Lt. Reddiford's troop, Dad is the only one wearing glasses on the front row, and a group photo of the whole battery, plus one not shown of the battery with their caps on. I have been doing research into his war time years and have his service record and regimental war diaries, but have never been able to pin down where the photo's were taken until know. I was surprised by the other photos and was wondering where you found them and the list of men at Beni Yusef on V.E. Day. You have clearly discovered other sources.
Would you object if I added them to my collection?
I would be grateful for any other information you have regarding 38 Battery or 14th Anti-tank regiment, as anything concrete is hard to come by.

Regards,

Patrick Holdsworth.
