Revision as of 12:15, 25 June 2017

55th (Suffolk Yeomanry) Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery, War Diary 1939 - 1944.

The War Diary for the period covering the existence of this unit was photographed at The National Archives, Kew and the images from that research remain on file within the research archives.

As with other supporting units, the War Diary will only be included on the 70th Infantry Brigade Memorial Website for the period over which the unit was possibly involved with the Brigade - in this instance, for the time when they were Divisional Troops in support of 49th Infantry Division from 27th July 1943, until the time when 70th Infantry Brigade was disbanded in August 1944, to provide reinforcements for other units.

Any user of the Website who has queries about events included within other periods of the unit's existence is invited to contact the lead researcher and the archive of War Diary pages will be searched in an attempt to answer questions. In addition, the pages which do not feature in full on the Website will be trawled for the names of those who served in the unit, and they will be included in the list of personnel.
