My father was captured at the knights Bridge box ww2 has anybody any info on the Royal Norfolk yeomanry(Royal Artillery) particularly the war diaries or where they are kept and how to access them
Welcome to the forum, Trevor. please could you confirm that your father served with the and 65th (Norfolk Yeomanry) Anti-Tank Regiment, RA, and if so, do you know which Battery he served with? Best, Steve.
Steve I can't be certain which battery he was with most of my documentation is packed away I'm waiting to move I have his regimental no somewhere I will see if I can find it the only other info I have is that he was a pti judo instructor and a l/bdr
The regimental history: The Norfolk Yeomanry in Peace and War by Bastin is usually one of the cheaper and easier ones to find, if you haven't already.
Like buses! - I was researching the 65th ATK as well just recently. My G.Grandad was posted to the 65th ATK and then showed as posted to the 72 Field Regiment. He was then captured on 1.6.42. Looks like he was in 259 battery of the 65th that came under the 72nd. I found that from Steve's posts - who has the most knowledge on the 65th. Steve's previous posts are well worth a search, but viewing the service record would be good if you can upload it.
