42nd Royal Tank Regiment
« on: Sunday 23 August 09 16:34 UTC (UK) »
Does anyone out there have relatives who served in the 42nd RTR?  My Grandad served in the tank regiment throughout WWII and we know that he was in 42nd, although I think it was disbanded at some point??  He was an RSM and I feel someone must have some memories/photos of him and his colleagues.  All the family photos have gone missing.  His name was Frederick George 'Chalk' White.

Before joining the regular army he was a member of the TA in Clapham from 1932.

Hope someone can help

My Father served with 42 RTR and was captured at Tobruk.  I have some history of the regiment that may be of interest.  how do we get in touch?

My Father served with the 42nd RTR from July 1942 with the MEF and then in North West Europe from 12 August until 14 November when it was disbanded and he joined up with the 1st East Riding Yeomanry.

Would appreciate any information.
