    Looking for pages from the above units diary for the period 9 - 18 April '45, when according to The Tiger Triumphs, they assembled on 78 Divs line of advance, while relieving Jaipurs.

    I've got a copy of the Royal West Kent's Regiment 1920-50 by H.D.CHAPLIN.Will have a butchers as to what one can find! I think it will not be much. 78 Division may have more detail. Will look at both books & reply if of any use. Others will know more.
    Regards
    Stu.

    56 Recce were part of 78 Division and among their war diaries are some attachments, including this from the 8 Indian Division. If I have my facts right some of this may be relevant to you.
