Scots Greys 1944 - 45
« on: Sunday 02 December 07 16:26 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find some background information on the Scots Grey's from the Normandy Beaches to VE Day prior to visiting the National Archives to read the Regimental War Diary. Can anyone recommend either suitable histories or web sites. Thanks.

Have you looked under Royal Scots Greys which I think is the correct Regiment name.

why not write to the Regiment and they will give youan idea of where to find  the best information  if they don't have it themselves.
