Organiztn. - Recce Regt. 1 Cid - 1943

[DITNER, S.M.]

AM RESEARCHING 4PLDG FOR RELATIVE'S BIO. HE WAS KIA IN ITALY, 1945 WHILE SERVING AS DRIVER/MECH IN 4 PLDG'S A SQN.

A FEW QUERIES FOR YOU FOLKS (WHO HAVE BEEN MOST HELPFUL WITH EARLIER QUESTIONS):

WHAT WAS BREAKDOWN OF REGT.? IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WAS 3 SCOUT TROOPS AND AN ASSAULT TROOP PER SQUADRON. IS THIS CORRECT?

WHAT VEHICLES WOULD EACH HAVE EMPLOYED?

CAN ANYONE ADVISE AS TO DATE THAT BASE REINFORCEMT. DEPOT DEPARTED PHILLIPEVILEE, NORTH AFRICA FOR SICILY AND OR ITALY FOLLOWING "HUSKY"? LETTERS ARE SOMEWHAT AMBIGUOUS AS TO DATE OF DEPARTURE FOR ABOVE AND I AM A BIT SKETCHY ON TIMELINE. RELATIVES STILL ALIVE EQUALLY UNSURE.......

ALL FOR NOW. APPRECIATE ANY INPUT.
