hi
I have just started looking around for info regarding 42RTR. MY father was a member of the TA at Wandsworth was a tank driver in C squadron. I have a few photos of them in the Libya
and Warlingham. His name was Charles Mathews and lived Balham, his brother in law was also an officer there for s short time before transferring to the RAF his name was Basil Deal. Hope this may ring a few bells.
