2ND/6TH BATALLION “QUEEN’S” ROYAL REGIMENT WAR DIARY 1945

Does anyone have the war diaries for 1945 for 2ND/6TH BATALLION “QUEEN’S” ROYAL REGIMENT please as I am researching my Grandfathers time in the British Army during WW2. War Diary Reference no. WO 170/5060

 

Lee1983 I don't have a copy of the diary, but do have access to the Regimental History if there is anything I can help you out with?

 

Hi, I am looking to trace my grandfathers and the regiments battles and movements whilst with the regiment. I also know that he was wounded during his with the regiment

 

Do you have specific dates?

 

He was with the regiment from 6th January 1945 until end September 1945

 

OK, I shall organise and send you a DM over the next couple of days.

 

Lee1983, apologies life has been in the way lately, I shall get the images organised for you by the weekend.

 

No problem mate

 

Hi sorry for being a pain, I was wondering if you have had any luck finding the information for me

 

Please check your inbox.

 

Just received my grandfathers war record and discovered he was part of 2/6 bn in the CMF (Italy) Nov 45 - Jun 46 6105629 Pte Lathrope

 

Hi is there any chance I can get a copy of the regimental history? My grandfather was in from 39-45 I believe

thanks so much

 

At the risk of taking advantage of your initial kind offer, can I ask you tell me what the regimental history says about 1st September 1944? My interest is in 15 Field Regiment who were in support for what (according to their war diary) was a German attack in the afternoon and a counterattack by the Queens in the evening. A map would be amazing, but anything that narrows the location would be brilliant.

 

It looks like Blitz_researcher's request has been answered on this thread: 15 Field Regt RA Gothic Line.
