3rd Btn Monmouthshire Reg WW2

[IMBER]

His headstone is not symbolic. It marks his actual grave. It's possible his original grave was elsewhere but his remains were later moved to this cemetery. All this is explained on the CWGC website.

The battalion has a war diary covering 1945 at the National Archives - details below.

WO 171/5246 3 Monmouthshire Regt. Jan-Dec 1945

It's unlikely that they will mention him by name but you will have a very good idea on what the unit was doing on the day of his death assuming he didn't die of wounds, there may be clues to this in the diary.

Drop me a message if you'd like a copy.

Hello Drew,

My great uncle was in this regiment and I would greatly appreciate a copy if you are willing.

Hi, new to this forum and have found your message. My father served with 3 Mons from 1938 to 46 and after years of opportunity to find out about his service, I no longer have the pleasure of speaking to him. I love a copy of the diaries if possible.  thanks, Mike.

I am trying to find out what the cap badge for the 3rd Btn Monmouthshire Reg in WW2 was so could someone please help shed some light on this for me?

Thanks
