Did the NWEF deploy any Cavalry units to Norway in 1940? I couldn't find any war diaries in the WO 168 series that would suggest this was the case.
Cheers...They seem to be attached to the Guards. I wonder if Di has anything on them. There is no war diary for the regiment let alone a troop covering this period.
