65th Armoured tank division WW2

[Regorian]

yes, the War Diaries of units and formations are the way to go. Unfortunately, the NA have periodical prunings. I got photocopies of armoured regiment states and divisional daily tank states from Kew. That was probably 10 years ago and there was no complete run June 1944 to May 1945 then. Many had gone to the shredder.

What was the file refs? I suspect a lot has changed since then, I've only been going for around five years and I cringe at some of the stories I hear. I'm wondering if they are now available as I'm sure I copied something like this sometime ago along with a file examining destroyed British tanks in NWE and daily or monthly British Tank Production figures.

Give me a bit of time. I don't actively study this stuff nowadays. I have a mixture of photocopies and what I copied out longhand. One thing I can say it is pure gold. Without checking, there was June and July and then it jumped to October. I will send you all I've got but I will need to sort it all out.

Just the reference number will do for the file. It's not an area I'm interested in was just happy to check if any others were available for you if you are interested

Hi all,

Resurrecting this thread as I am currently researching the 65th AT Regt, RA for a living history project starting in the next couple of years. I am involved with a group covering Royal Norfolk's and I am interested in getting as many stories of veterans and their families as possible as well as any other information you may have in order to make our portrayal as realistic as possible and do the men of the 65th AT Regiment justice. If you would like to provide any information regarding a relative from a photograph to a story you were told once I would be forever in your favour as sadly there isn't much information regarding the Norfolk Yeomanry around.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

All the best,

Matt
