    Chaps,

    I was wondering if anyone could assist. I found a couple of interesting things in my grandfather's service records which arrived yesterday and would be grateful if anyone could post up the 2nd Bn Essex Regiment War Diary for Feb 1945.

    Many thanks,

    Dan

    I don't have the War Diary, but here is the excerpt for February 1945 for 2nd Battalion, The Essex Regiment covering February 1945 from the regimental history The Essex Regiment 1929-1950 by T.A. Martin.

    Thank you! I am trying to put together what they were doing at the time - an entry has come up in my Grandfather's service records so It's interesting to know some of the background.

    I only have the regimental history to. Here's the war diary ref should you require a copy - I suspect thought it will be a bit much for just one month

    WO 171/5188 2 Essex Regiment 1945 Jan.- Dec.
