1 King's in Korea

I have got my dad's service records from his service between 1949-1953. He served in 1 kings regt in Korea.
Has anybody got copies of the regt diary entries for the korean war? My dad served 1 year 183 days on active service and I would love to see the entries for his regt.
I am willing to pay if necessary.
Thank you very much and waiting in anticipation.

Hi Kevin,

I can't help with the diary sadly, but here are a couple of threads about the war and to some small degree, the King's involvement:
Korea: Remembering the veterans of 'forgotten war'

Bench memorial for the British Korean Veteran Association.

 

Hello Bamboo43 and thank you so much for your reply. I will look at those links now.
Once again thanks.

Kevin.

 

No worries Kevin.

 

Hi Kevin,

I don't have copies but I can get them for you. My costs are £0.12 a page + £3 per file. The WDs I can see for Korea are these.



Regards,
Gary.

 

Hello Gary and thank you very much for your quick reply. I would be interested in getting all the files but I am on holiday at the moment. Will be back in the 2nd of June. Wouldn't be ok to contact you then to organise payment etc for the files I want to purchase?

Hi Kevin,

That's fine. I can't guarantee when I'll be able to get them. What I usually do is get a couple first, see what the size is, and then you can decide if it is what you're looking for. There's no need for payment up front.

Regards,
Gary.

 

Thank you very much Gary, I'll contact you when I return from holiday.
Kind regards.
Kevin.

 

Hi Kevin,

I copied the first two WDs on Saturday - I've started a conversation with you.

Regards,
Gary.

 

So sorry Gary for not being in touch but been so busy with work etc. Work away from home sometimes.
You say you jave started a conversation with me! Where do i find that,please?

 

Have a look at: Anyone require War Diaries or other files from the National Archives?
