Hi, found this fella in the 1KDG diaries a couple times - both interesting mentions.

1 Nov '39 "Lt Col J G E Tiarks left unit to take up other employment."

31 Jan '45 "Brigadier Tiarks visited the Regt today; he promised to do what he could on his return to ENGLAND to get the Regt home complete."

Cheers
James
