He kept command although the rest of the Malta seige, through the sicily and Italian Landings and on their return to the UK untill March 12th when the Battalion were at Inverary, he then moved on to a staff appointment and Lt.Col C.A.R.Nevill OBE assumed command.
Hello all, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I've been away. Thanks for the welcome and diary Drew, also thanks for the welcome Joe and Tony. I'll also sort out a copy of the photo. All the best Cam
Drew I see the above posts were quite a few years ago but if you have the 2nd Devons war diary for the 10-19 June I would be most grateful to see a copy.
Drew Hi - its been ages since this post but hopefully you will pickup. Do you have the 2nd Devons War Diary for the 8th June? I am researching their action at Le Mesnil and the Chateau that day Thanks Ian
Thank you so much. Thats great. There is a lot in these that helps me understand their actions at Longues & the days afterwards. Thanks again Ian
As I get further into June 44 in my research into the 147th Field Regiment's actions the 1st Dorsets Diary for June would be useful too. Your Photobucket link from years ago disappears now too. Would it be possible to post that? Thanks Ian
