Please does anybody know anything about the students on this course? Or have any information and/or photos about them? Was there a course photo perhaps? They were: Lt D I Symonds Lt E M Phelan Lt F S Ponsford Lt W A Hall Lt E O Bennett Lt W P Brookshaw Lt C E Anderson 7887576 RSM Watt E 7881096 SSM Gresswell S 7883488 SSM Stewart W 7883406 Sgt McCord W 3768768 Sgt Rowland D 7904586 Sgt Stubbs H Sgt Rowland is my uncle KIA 7 APR 43 at Sebkret en Noual. The course instruction signed by the Adj, instructed the RSM to arrange where the instruction was to take place and to contact the various officers in/charge of the courses. I have what I believe to be the course notes for this course. It is marked Secret and titled The Tactical Handling of an Armoured Regiment. It is written for the guidance of young officers and is 23 pages long including 8 pages of diagrams. It is dated FEB 43. Looking forward very much to hearing from anybody who knows anything please.

Dear S54, WOW many, many thanks. What an incredible story and what a man! AND to think my uncle Dennis and he were together as Sgt's on a course together. Did Stubby leave a diary and/or photos behind please? I wish I had started my search so much earlier, I would have loved to talk to Stubby. What happened to his novel? Graeme
No probs, always a pleasure! This info was posted in the 3RTR group over on 'Facebook' and I have no other info, sorry!
