Hello All'' I was winderung if anyone has the War Diaries of the 22nd ArmouredRegiment (Canadian Grenadier Guards) and the 28th Armiured Regiment (South Alberta's) From Aug 44 to May 1945. I cannot see to find copies or PDF'S. Thanks in advance. Euge
The 28th Armoured Regiment was the British Columbia Regiment. The 29th Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment was the South Alberta Regiment. Which one of these are you interested in seeing?
You can find these war diaries at the Heritage Canadiana site. Here are the start reels for 1 August 1944 for each of the regiments. Some may continue onto the next reel. 22nd Armoured Regiment http://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_t12727/17?r=1&s=4 28th Armoured Regiment http://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_t12764/1393?r=1&s=4 29th Armoured Regiment http://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_t12767/1349?r=1&s=4
Dryan WOW Thank you that is Awsome, Ihave been looking for these type of Documents. for 1st Hussars,23rd Hussars and LdSH as well but no luck.. How can i find the War Diary from these.. Some things i did see in this packet is that there were Stug 105's(StuH 42) in Normandy not just the Hybrid French stuff. they were numbered squardrons not Alphabetical And that the Can Gren Guards were Utilized the most along with South Alberta for the 4th Can Armoured Div.
Check the link I sent you regarding the spreadsheet for the Heritage Canadiana site. You should be able to locate the war diaries for the 1st Hussars and the Lord Strathcona's Horse there as well. The 23rd Hussars was a British regiment and will not have war diaries at this site.
