Hannover Technically 147 Field Regiment (Essex Yeomanry) were attached to the 50th (Northumbrian) Division (supporting 231 Infantry Brigade) for D Day and became a part of the 8th Armoured on D + 2 (5 Troops out of 6, the final Troop joined on D +3). I will augment Sheldrake's post that identifies the 147 Fd Officers. Ian
