Hello Drake and welcome to the Forum. My regiment, the North Irish Horse, supported the Royal West Kents in several actions, unfortunately the battalions involved are not always mentioned in our Battle Report. However, there is one entry on the 1st Bn. See Page 61 of: http://www.nih.ww2site.com/nih/addenda/BattleReports/P1.html Back home I have quite a lot of info - including photographs - on the many units we supported. On return from my extended stay in Bali, I will check to see what I have on RWK and 1st Bn in particular. If anything turns up I will post it here. With best wishes to you and yours, Gerry
Welcome Drake, I am sure Gerry will come up with something. Especially after his extended stay in Bali! Ha Ha!

Bonjour ComradeRomain,from readind some of your posts you're already a league above some of the people on here, keep it up.
I realize I never introduced myself. Hello mate, You've already made me laugh. (Love the picture by the way, very stylish.)
Bienvenue du forum Romain, comment allez vous? (My French is rusty) Look forward to your posts and the Canadian content. We endeavour to increase the Commonwealth forces information.
