    Hi,
    Has your friend already applied for copy service records form GG RHQ? If they know for certain with which bn(s) he served and when, then the usual route after that would be War Diaries for detail or the GG Regtl History for background.

    Here's 1st Bn GG -
    War Diary, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, BEF - Sep 1939 to Jun 1940

    There are a few threads dotted about in Bde of Gds with bits of info about the battalion in NWE
    Lance Serjeant Harry Thomas Hallsworth, 1st Bn Grenadier Guards

    Hello,

    I was just browsing and came across this site. Post 131 mentioned about a unit being one of the first to reach a concentration camp and that rang a bell with me, so I have registered.

    My mother told me that my father, (long deceased), was sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp to help out there. Does anybody else have details of a Grenadier detachment going there?

    Moderator(s) if this is in the wrong forum please amend

    TIA

    My Uncle, Joe Needham from Chesterfield was in the Grenadiers and at Dunkirk and D Day. He was a butcher in civvy street, and was transferred to the Catering Corps after getting wounded to check the meat rations , ended up a WO1. I'm trying to track down what battalion he would have been in, or any further info, thanks uncle joe.jpg
