51st Royal Tank Regiment
« on: Thursday 08 November 12 10:59 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have  a copy of the 51st RTR War Diary for September 1944? I am researching the battle of the Gothic Line on the 1st Canadian Corps sector and 25th Tank Brigade and 4th Infantry Division fought under Canadian command for part of September 1944, ending with the capture of Rimini on September 21st 1944.
regards
merlin

WO 170/865 at the National Archives; not digitised, though.

Looks like it might well be available at Bovington, too: http://www.tankmuseum.org/Documents_and_Handbooks
