I am researching my fathers service history. He first served in The desert with KORR until he sailed to India in March 1942. Interestingly his last days from 7th March until 18th March have been redacted. In April 1944 he was transferred to 3IDS Which I presume was Indian Signals as in September he was transferred to SF Signals (Special Forces?). I know from the little that he said that he was in the Chindits and served behind enemy lines. I cannot find any details of any engagements that he was involved in or any other information other that that noted above and the country that he was in on specific dates Can anyone direct me to where I may find more info regarding any campaigns etc that he was involved in. Cheers
When you talk about things being redacted, does this mean you already have his full service records? If yes, it might be worth posting scanned images of what you have for folk on here to have a crack at making sense of them for you. If not then I'd recommend you send off to the MOD for them asap.... see this link for guidance. Would also be helpful to post who he is with a few details........... his full name, date and locations re birth / marriage, parents details etc
Yes I have his full service records which I will scan the tomorrow and post them in this thread. Thank you
3 IDS is almost certainly 3 Indian Division Signals which is really the same unit as Special Force Signals, having been re-named a couple of times. Think of it as Chindit signals. There is no shortage of books on the 1944 Chindit campaign.
many thanks. I have just returned from Lancaster Museum which has a section dedicated to the KORR where I have obtained some good information.
