I have recently returned from the National Archives where I was able to view the War Diary for the 101st Bn Royal Tank Regiment (Dummy Tanks) to which my uncle was temporarily attached from November 1941 into 1942. There were quite a few map references relating to this map and I would like to examine a copy if possible. A search on this site shows that some years ago advice was given on how to do this, but I haven't found any links that are still working. Can anyone help me please?
