Hi to all, I'm after some info on the above battalion... The period I'm after is for the all of December 1944. More so on the 12th December. I'm not sure if a regimental/ battalion history went to print? If someone has the war diaries for this month has well then that would be appreciated? The only info i have is from the Official History of the Indian Armed Forces. I will be visiting Monte Grande & Monte Cerere this year in October. I do have a memorial to show if any-one is interested? I would post it, but it has a copyright on it with a email address. Not emailed the chap as yet to be able to show it. Start a conversion with me if anyone would like me to send on the photo of the memorial? Only came across it by chance today. Regards, Stu.
There is a thread that mentions them 8th Punjab Regiment Regimental History dryan refers to: Immediately after another says look at: Ahmad, Rifat Nadeem and Rafiuddin Ahmed. Unfaded Glory: The 8th Punjab Regiment 1798-1956. Abbottabad, Pakistan: Baloch Regimental Centre, 2007 IWM LBY 07 / 2537 I'd have a peek at the IWM Oral History collection, to see if anyone was spoken to.
How about this? Order of Battle and a divisional summary: https://www.britishmilitaryhistory....tes/124/2020/06/8-Indian-Division-1944-45.pdf A short Indian Army pamphlet 'One More River': One More River - The Story of the 8th Indian Division : Unspecified. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive A short tour item: 3/8 Punjabis Trail by Sue Hughes – Italy Star Association 1943-1945 Note plural for Punjabis and no oblique between 3 & 8.
