At the risk of repeating myself, I cannot stress too much how valuable Geoff's site is.

Just in case you have yet to pay a visit to the site , here is the link:
http://www.hut-six.co.uk/cgi-bin/search39-47.php

For the first time I have been able to get a definitive list of ALL the men who fell in both of the two regiments in which I served simply by keying in (to UNIT TEXT) the name of the regiment.
In my case:
4th Queen's Own Hussars
49 lt aa (49th Light Ack Ack Rgt. RA)

This is how the search results will appear (49th LAA)
