1/4 Hampshire Regt
« on: Wednesday 23 May 18 13:03 BST (UK) »

Hi everyone,

What can anybody tell about the 1/4 Hampshire Regiment.
 I've just received my Grandfathers Service records, he transferred on 19/9/43 to the Hampshires from the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Reported missing North Africa (Italy) O2E/ BNAF on 12/9/43. Then reported prisoner of war in German hands Staglag IVB.

Thanks Guys
