Hi - Curious if anyone can help - I'm doing some research into my grandfather Herbert Jordan who was a tank driver in the 23rd hussars and I'm struggling to find any useful resources that will provide me with information about him or his unit. If anyone can point me towards any sites or resources it would be greatly appreciated. Gary.
There is a fair amount on this forum: Search Results for Query: "23 hussars" | WW2Talk 23rd Hussars, list of all officers? | WW2Talk 23rd Hussars. Anybody Assist with a location or war diary please? Do you know for a fact the periods he was with them? Plenty of transfers took place between units so you will need to be sure when he was with them, generally start with official records: Get a copy of military service records: Apply for the records of someone who's deceased - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Hi Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, i only met him once, about 60 years ago. All i know is that he was a tank driver in the 23rd Hussars. Not much to go on i'm afraid. All the best.
The list of threads by Tony56 should keep you occupied, but stunned by how many one regiment had I only looked at the last ones. This thread refers to several books and one member offers to check for names, so perhaps start in reverse: Son of 23rd Hussars veteran
