Hi guys, Just wondering (Hoping) someone might have the war diaries for 3 Para Jul - Dec 1943. Trying to write the story of the wife's grandfather. He joined the Bn on 25 Aug 43 and stayed with them until Arnhem where he became a POW. I have memoirs left by him (And his service Record)but they are a little confusing, for example he talks about Bone Airfield and Sicily but I know he would not have been part of the Bn at those times (He completed his jumps in Jul 43) Just want to make an accurate story for the family I've got all the 1944 diaries but the 1943 ones would help enormously.
These are the WD's up to and including Jul 43 - War Diary, 3rd Parachute Battalion. November 1942-July 1943. | ParaData but have you contacted paradata as they may have the next one along which is what you are after The 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment (3 PARA) | ParaData TD
