    When I try the link it says "You do not have permission to view this content" - do people need to sign in/be a member of the forum to read it?
    Might be worth just posting the info here

    Hi,

    Sorry about problem with link. Thought non members might've been able to view it as guests.

    Here is the post on GWF.

    Here is another link - I've replaced link in Post 1.

    Link removed 15/7/17 as topic deleted from GWF by OP.



    "Hello can anyone with an informed view point me in the right direction on the following.



    1. Was there an OH WWII volume that covered the LRDG or the Special Forces of both?

    2. Can anyone highlight the definitive history of the LRDG - preferably the most detailed publication.

    3. Does anyone know if the LRDG kept war diaries and whether they are at Kew? Edit. Found. Next question...is anyone familiar with their content?

    4. Does anyone know (personally) an expert on the subject who I might talk to.



    I have next to zero knowledge on the LRDG. I understand it had strong NZ, SA connections and the British elements were anchored on the Guards and Yeomanry. I alos read that there were Indian Army elements as well. All are of interest. My research has not yet started and I would be extremely grateful for any pointers that might get me through the clutter of less well researched histories. Thank you in advance.



    Martin."

    I have most of the LRDG war diaries covering North Africa.

    As for an expert - I'd recommend Kuno.
