    Bit of a cheeky request, but...

    I`m just trying to find out when the 5th Infantry Brigade was first sent to Gulunche Camp near Nira, India. I know the Brigade departed the camp in late October 1943 but I`m hoping that perhaphs someone has War Diaries for 5th which might reveal when they actually arrived there.

    Many thanks if you can help.

    Regards,

    John

    Gents,

    The answer has kindly been supplied by a non forum member, thus:

    Ref:WO172 /2056: 31 May - 2 June 1943, 5 Inf. Bde Gp moved to GULUNCHE and NIRA Camps for the Monsoon period.
    (Previously that month the Bde had been variously distributed at POONA, AHEMEDNAGAR and MAHABLESHWAR).

    Thanks to anyone who took the time to read the request and who had a look through their records.

    Regards,

    John
