Title: Tracing REME Journey
Post by: Hoody123 on Friday 28 September 18 23:00 BST (UK)
Evening all, I’m currently researching my grandad and have his service record. I’m hoping that someone can help me out with potential locations/units that he would have served or been stationed. While serving in the REME, I believe that he was attached to the 17th/21st lancers.
Here is his service record attached. Thanks in advance!

 The Queen's Royal Lancers (17th/21st) Museum website is very good:
