    Hey guys,

    Im currently looking at the 11th Armoured Division, to be specific, the 29th Armoured Brigade.

    Just wondering does anyone on here have the war diaries or documents for the 29th Armoured Brigade? And if you do, do you mind sharing with us?

    Thanks
    Ben

    Anything in specific you are after? I have the Brigade HQ and all the fighting units except for 8 Rifle Brigade for 1944 and around half of the 1945 ones.

    Hi Drew,

    The 23rd Hussars if that is ok. Could l also ask, do you have the 2nd Northamptonshire Yeomanry War Diaries?

    Thanks

    I have all the armoured war diaries for NW Europe covering Jan-Dec 1944, except for the Royal Scots Greys and the Derbyshire Yeomanry, which I'm planning on copying next week, touch wood. Do you have any specific days-We are talking 1,000's of pages and with the best will in the world I can't post everything.

    Hi Drew,

    I will start off with June probably, then work my way through the months. How much pages does each Diary roughly contain?

    Thanks

    Between 150 and 1000 pages in each diary.
