49th West Riding Division
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.
