Major Destruction is an unknown quantity at this point

Does anyone know the TOE for the 4th Indian Division prior to Operation Strike in May 1943?

Specifically, did this division have Gurkha troops assigned, or when did the Gurkhas join 4th (Ind) Div?

I can only find an OOB for Alamein and Monte Cassino

At Alamein,
Oct 42, the Division had 5 Bde with 4/4 Essex, 4/6 Rajputana, 3/10 Baluch, 161 Bde with 1 Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, 1 Punjab, 4/7 Rajput and 7 Bde with 1 Sussex, 16 Punjab & 1/2 Gurkha Rifles(King Edward VII's Own Goorka Rifles).

At Wadi Akarit in April 43 the 1/2 Gurkha Rifles were still the only Gurkhas in 4 Div. But by May I see references to the 1/9 Gurkhas as well.

The 2/7 Gurkhas joined 4 Div before tha attack on Monte Cassino and each Brigade had 1 Gurkha Bn.
