 | That site appears to have sadly fallen by the wayside, though the text is still available in Google's cache: LRDG, Long Range Desert Group 1940-1943 This one's not bad: Welcome to www.lrdg.de Some nice biographical & mission details.

| Came across this story whilst Googling "Wiltshire Yeomanry+Tobruk". Currently reading their Regt History but this is a rather good story from one of their men who joined the LRDG. Titch Story Just found this pic too. Click on image for a larger view. Anthony Holloway (Titch) Cave - LRDG - Special Forces - Roll Of Honour

| Here´s a link to the book Episodes & Studies, volume 1, part of the official Kiwi history in WW2, which contains very interesting info on LRDG ops in North Africa and the Greek islands. Episodes & Studies Volume 1 | NZETC
