3 Fwd. Force Pigeon Section

  1. I am reading one of the war diaries for 3 field force from TNA. What was 3 Field Force? Where were they stationed? What were their military objectives? Were there any notable accomplishments?

    I have not heard of 3rd Field Force. Would you provide some more details from the War Diary, such as location, time frame or other pertinent information?

    There's some files in the WO 33 and WO 212 series related to this organisation including order of battles. I would look at the Orbat files first while you're at Kew.
     
  5. I apologize...should have given the catalog number which is WO171/6004. It's a war diary for signals and has logs for use of pigeons. Thank you for the info.

    I just read a log for Feb. 1945 which mentions the number of Brussels pigeons dropped and the returns. ??
