Hi Danny,

I have already sent a private message a few days ago. I am interested in the operations of E Battery of the Royal Horse Artillery with the Porterforce, south of Ravenna (Italy) in November 1944. Can you help me? Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Rick

Sorry I only copied them up until the end of July 1942 as that's when my Great Uncle was Killed.

Hi Keith, I regret that I only copied the dairies up until my Great uncle was killed so I have them from 1939-July 1942.

Hi Rick, I'll have a look for you if I find any thing I'll PM you the details, it doesnt mention individual soldiers very often but you never know.

If you want to send me a memory stick with a stamped addressed envelop enclose I'll send you it all ?

Regards
Danny

Hi Ensus,

I have it up until July 1942 if you want I can put it on to a memory stick if you send one with a stamped addressed envelope.

I'm trying to track the 5th RHA as it travelled south from the Belgian border down to Hondegham then over to Cassel then onward - just wondered if you have any info.

I'm racking the 140th Regiment 367 Battery (that was linked to the 5th RHA I believe) that my uncle was in - he died at Cassel or was mortally wounded there.

Thanks
Barry

I'm trying to find out about my great uncle, Gunner William Wallace, who was KIA on 27 May 1940. He was 19 and family have said in the past he was killed when carrying a message on a motorbike. I don't know how accurate this was. Can you help?

Thanks

Jim Wallace

 

Hi Danny. My father served with both AE and B/O Batteries of the 1st RHA in 1939 through to 1942. I would very much like to get a copy of the 1939/1940 war diaries. Regards
Mel

 

Danny has not been on the forum since 2017
I will send a private message to him to see if he is able to help

Many thanks

 

Hi Mel ,
Not been active on here for a long time , not sure what I’ve done with them. If memory serves I had to photograph each page and some are blurry but I’ll dig them out Might have to send me a memory stick to send them to you. They do often mention individual Soldiers just units action and movements

 

* don’t sorry
