note to self....MUST TYPE BETTER!

Try www.daimler-fighting-vehicles.co.uk

I dont want to post them here, because they are very much a work in progress, but i am typing up all of the Bovington Tank museum records related to Dingo's (its taken two years so far!)

of the early cars (those issued before dunkirk) there are at least 50 or so cars issued to rifle brigades or other infantry units that do not spring to mind as being associated with the recce corps and were not part of the RAC at that time.

examples are


1st Queen Victoria Rifles. As part of the BEF

2nd Queen Victoria Rifles. (latter KRRC)

2nd Kings Royal Rifle Corps as part of the BEF 1940.

2nd Kings Own Royal Rifle Corps.

12th Kings Royal Rifle Corps

1st Rifle Brigade as part of the BEF 1940

7th Rifle Brigade

8th Rifle Brigade

5th Loyals

2nd Tower Hamlets

1st Rangers

2nd Rangers

1st Queens Westminster

1st London rifle Brigade

1st Motor MG Brigade

1st Guards

Grenadier Guards

4th Coldstream Guards

2nd Irish Guards


plus

1st Field Squadron Royal Engineers

9th Field Royal Engineers

10th Field Royal Engineers

11th Field Royal Engineers

12th Field Royal Engineers

13th Field Royal Engineers

getting photographioc evidence is hard due to the lack of recognisable markings on cars used by the above regiments, however on my site you will find captioned photo's from the IWM and other sources that give the unit recorded at the time the photo was taken.

hope this helps
