    My father served in 9 BD Unit RE 1946 / 1948. His name was John Loach a fairly new Lieutenant. Does anyone have any info. re the unit photographs, reports, anecdotes anything really that will give me a better understanding of wht he did.

    Thanks Julian Loach

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    I've checked for unit diaries but there are only two available for 1940/41 period.

    Cheers

    Hi Jim, I've been there for the last two weeks hence the message :D

    Service Records are the best first step, so you're on the right track.

    Cheers
