Hi Paul
I'm new so please excuse me if I get this post wrong.
In your reference library have you got anything on 1st Bn The Buffs ( Royal East Kent Regt). I'm trying to find out when and where they and thus my Gt Uncle Howard Kendall saw action.
All I've found so far is that they were part of 24th Guards Brigade which was part of 56th Div of 8th Army in Italy. Not sure if this is right and where they were before Italy
Hope you can Help
Keith

Hi - sorry, just catching up on posts. I don't have anything specific on 1st Buffs, but a bit of info on 56th Div here:

There is a history of the division published by IWM which you can still buy from them.
