Before y'all start on me . . . .
After I logged off last night and started poking through my books, I discovered that the 9th and 12th did not amalgamate until 1960 or thereabouts.
Thanks, Mark, for your legwork. When I went to look I found that although I own a lot of the regimental histories published by Ian Cooper, I do not have the one on the 9th/12th. The best I could do here was in George Bradford's ancient book on armor in North Africa. Here I learned that in Africa the 12th had Humbers.
Geoff, can we add a smiley-face that is putting its foot into its mouth??
