hi, I am trying to gather some information about the 659 A W Company, Royal Engineers. Does anyone knows what "AW" stands for? I understand that this unit landed on Gold Beach but so far this is all I know... Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks! Tony
Hi, “A W” is Artisan Works Company. There is a copy of 1944 War Diary in the National Archives, Kew. The reference number is WO 171/1669, 659 Coy, 1944 Jan.- Dec Regards Danny
That's a great place to start with! Thanks Danny! Is there an independent researcher at Kew that you would recommend to copy those files?
Hi, You could contact PsyWar.Org (Lee) or Drew5233 (Andy) on the forum who both offer a copying service that will be cheaper than the National Archives copying service. http://ww2talk.com/index.php?members/psywar-org.2876/ http://ww2talk.com/index.php?members/drew5233.6786/ Regards Danny
