    I have just discovered that I have mislaid a load of documents regarding tank strengths and reinforcements for the R.T.R serving in North Africa during 1941. Rather than asking a hundred seperate questions to regain this information, does any one have it? Or could you direct me to a single source to replace this invaluable lost info?


    Many, many thanks, your good friend David.

    (PS I promise never again to mention the TTOD in the "three word story" if you can help me on this one.)

    Whilst those sites are very good, and I have used them for reference in the past, they only give O.O.B not T.O&E. But thanks anyway. :D
