    Good evening,

    Does anyone have a copy of the 44 RTR war diary for 1944? I have tried to look online for a pdf or copy but have been unable to find one. I know they are available on the national archives to buy but I would like to ask here first. There was also some posts on here once about the same war diary but I think the links have expired as they do not work for me.

    Thank you all,

    Grant

    I believe The Tank Museum Archives should have it available (for sale) as a PDF. At least with the daily event entries. Cheaper than going to Kew!

    Hi there,
    War diary attached. I'm going to be in Amiens in a week, heading east into Belgium and the Netherlands to retrace some of my father's journey. He was 'A' squadron commander of the 44th RTR from March 44 to the end of the war. That's his photo.
