Hi my late father (Henry patterson) was in 275 field company from 5/9/39 until transferred to 543e&m after being in hospital following el alamein(see separate thread for 543e&m) . Have tried to find records for 275 in various sources. So far have been able to confirm there presence at el alamein but little else. Does anyone know if field diaries are available? Thanks
Here are a couple of files at The National Archives - WO 166/3744 Description: ROYAL ENGINEERS: COMPANIES: 275 Field Company. Date: 1939 Sept.-1941 Dec. WO 166/8183 Description: ROYAL ENGINEERS: FIELD COMPANIES: 275 Company. Date: 1942 Jan.-May
Hi Robin Was I chatting to you earlier today on a naval FB page? I posted the research regarding the destroyers in Dover during Op Dynamo from my FB page France and Flanders 1940. Cheers Andy
