    Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

    Putting out a call for help...again!

    Does anybody out there have any information/background on the 8th Queens Own West Kent Regiment and what they were doing, theatre of operations, type of operations/training during 1939-41?

    Any help, guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Old Bill

    If no one has the Regimental History to look them up for you I would consider the battalions diary. They were in the UK from 39 to 41 according to the National Arhives filing system. WO 166 is Home Forces.

    WO 166/4643 8 Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment. 1940 Sept.- 1941 Dec.

    Nothing is listed before Sept 1940.
