War Diaries of the 49th Division.

At this stage it is intended to concentrate on documenting the War Diaries of the Division covering the period when they were a major part of the Iceland Garrison. To gain the clearest view of the situation of the British troops, and the tasks with which they were faced, it is suggested that those with an interest in the broader Iceland picture should read the G Branch War Diary first - and then add further detail to their appreciation with the Diaries of the other Branches. It is also particularly useful to read the 70th Brigade and individual Battalion Diaries alongside those from Force HQ.

AQ Branch 49th Division.

G Branch 49th Division.

Commander, Royal Artillery, 49th Division.

Commander, Royal Engineers, 49th Division.

Chaplains Department, 49th Division.

38 Field Security Section.


Personnel of Divisional (including ALABASTER FORCE and ICELAND (C ) FORCE) Headquarters.

These are the names of Staff Officers and colleagues who were mentioned at least once in the various War Diaries covering Iceland Force. So far, only the names of a few of the Other Ranks based at Force HQ have been identified - and they are mostly Senior NCOs. Details of any names not yet included should be notified to the researcher using the link at the foot of the page.
