If more information is gathered the full Memorial Page will be set up for each man in the same way as for the men in the Infantry Battalions. Thanks to the advice of the Enquiry staff at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission a search of their database has been done to produce a list of those casualties who were serving in the Regiment at the time of their deaths. Those men have now been added to the personnel list although details of their deaths are apparently not available, unless they are mentioned specifically in the War Diary.'' |

History

Battalion War Diary
Because of the nature and organisational structure of this Battalion, and others of this kind, it is not unusual to find War Diaries being maintained at Company, as well as Battalion, level. In this transcription, therefore, the Battalion Headquarters Diary appears first, followed by the Company Diaries - where they exist - in alphabetical order of Companies. Not all Diaries have an entry for every day. Inevitably this approach can result in some duplication of the description of events but the author believes that it is better to have some repetition than to have these important documents omitted.
Where the Diaries are in manuscript form words or phrases which are unclear have been replaced by question marks. Any reader who could clarify what the entry should be is encouraged to contact the researchers, using the e-mail link at the foot of the page.

Personnel Records for 2nd Kensingtons
As the lead researcher has not had access to any Enlistment Books for this Battalion, the names have all been abstracted from the War Diary in the first instance, and therefore were predominantly those of Officers at the initial stage. Those readers who had relatives serving in the Battalion would be more than welcome to submit their names and details for inclusion in this list. If more information is gathered the full Memorial Page will be set up for each man in the same way as for the men in the Infantry Battalions. Thanks to the advice of the Enquiry staff at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission a search of their database has been done to produce a list of those casualties who were serving in the Regiment at the time of their deaths. Those men have now been added to the personnel list although details of their deaths are apparently not available, unless they are mentioned specifically in the War Diary.
