army boxing records
« on: Sunday 12 July 15 18:42 BST (UK) »
Hi. I wonder if anyone could point me in the direction of royal artillery records, particularly boxing records. I believe my father John/Johny/Sean Byrne boxed for the artillery sometime between 1946-1952 and was a PE instructor and it would be wonderful if any records survived? Many thanks

You need  a specialist site such as firepower.org.uk

They may have copies of regimental magazines.
