Commands and Theatres of operations for KRRC in WWII can be found in British Armoured & Infantry Regiments 1939-45 by Malcolm A. Bellis 1994. There's too much to copy out here. I did look to see if the said card covered booklet had been digitised, but couldn't see it.

Thank you Regorian for the intelligence about Malcolm Bellis's book. I still have recourse to his earlier "Tanks and Formations" Booklet, so I must see if I can get hold of a copy of the later one.

What Battalion of the KRRC are you interested in?

There's two good regimental histories that I've listed copies for sale on Abebooks. I have both and can recommend them equally

http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?an=mills&sts=t&tn=King%27s+Royal+Rifle+Corps

I only have Vol.6 of the later as my own interest in WW2 stops in June 1940.
