    Hi All

    Does anyone have a copy of 71 Field Company war diary covering 1944 and or 1945. The reason I ask is British Forces Broadcasting Services recently ran a story about a surviving member of the company and I thought I'd try and provide him and his family with a copy of the diary (for free) so they can look back over his time with the company in North West Europe.

    Cheers
    Andy

    Andy,

    did you ever get a copy of these Diaries mate? Is there a link to the Veteran's story?

    No and I can't find the article now unfortunately.

    Thanks Drew, shame about not finding that article mate as I have come across a potted history of 71st Fd Coy which appears to have been written by someone in the HQ section about May 1945.

    Funnily enough, the forum software did not alert me to a reply to this thread.
