What period exactly - they were resting in India up to March 1945 after there involvement in fighting in 1944. They were part of 33 Indian Infantry Brigade of the 7th Indian Division.

You may wish to ask your library to get hold of a copy of "Golden Arrow: The Story of the 7th Indian Division in the Second World War 1939-1945" by M R Roberts (buying it would be expensive at £50+)

Get in touch with the Surrey Archives at Guildford-I believe they now hold all the papers and photographs for the Queens Royal Regiment
