Secondly can someone advise me on what forum I will need to post my request in please, Its the 141 RAC Regt (The Buffs) Yours Faithfully Steve,(junkyard)
Welcome to the forum. I suggest starting a thread here. http://ww2talk.com/forums/forum/13-searching-for-someone-military-genealogy/ If you want info on the unit itself I suggest here. http://ww2talk.com/forums/forum/25-unit-history-war-diaries-and-documents/ or in the sub-forum for armoured units.. http://ww2talk.com/forums/forum/137-rac-rtr/
Hi Steve Here's the refs for his units war diaries: WO 166/1430 ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS: 141 Regiment. 1941 Nov.-Dec. WO 166/6936 ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS: 141 Regiment. 1942 Jan.- Dec.

Give me a shout if you are too far away to travel to the National Archives. I'm back there in January and I already have the 1944 diary. Good luck Andy
That's great Fellas, just the sort of info and guidance I am in need of. And thank you Andy I will be in touch. Cheers Steve
I've also got the Buffs official history should you need something specific looking up, like a particular day etc..
