Morning all, Wondering if anyone could assist with a war diary for 13th Field Squadron? A quick google would suggest attached to 11th Armoured Div. Looking specifically for June 1944 please? My nan's first husband, my half-uncles dad, William West Thompson, was a 35 year old driver and was killed on the 28th June. I believe the diary is WO 171/1507. If no one has it, I'll add it to my Kew list. Thanks
