Default Middle East Photos

Armoured vehicles are not really my interest but Karen Bracken, one of the participants in our Istanbul-Normandy convoy, asked me to find some stuff on her father's unit (2/9 Divisional Cavalry Regiment) so she and husband Dale can mark their vehicle up as belonging to that unit.

Her father was unfortunately badly wounded when his carrier was hit at Tobruk and never fully recovered before a sad demise at an early age.

I found these photos of the unit in Syria and Egypt. I presume these have been seen by most carrier people but may be of interest to others. I aplogise if this is duplicating previous posts.

Interesting colour schemes - looks like every vehicle has a different pattern!

Default 2/9th Div Cavalry

Lang -

Nice pics.

Ref the Div Cav - are there any remaining papers that might relate to the vehicle T-Number serials ? I have yet to come across listings for any of the Regiments...

Roddy,

As I said in my first post I am not an armour enthusiast so don't really have any sources for records for armoured vehicles. I just happened upon a set of photos for the 2/9 Divisional Cavalry Regiment. which I thought you fellows might like.

I am sure there must be some on the forum with this information (or know where to find it)


Lang
