Royal Canadian Dragoons (WWII)
Who can answer the following question.
I try to trace the activities of the RCD during April 1945 in The Netherlands. To get a good impression about their organisation, I am looking for an organisation diagram of this regiment/squadron. This means a diagram showing the vehicles (armoured and softskin) they were using. Please feel free to contact me if you do have any information and/or suggestions. Thank you in advance. With kind regards Wim van Snippenberg The Netherlands wvansnippenberg@online.nl |

Hi Wim
Frank has given you our Regiment's link so you could indeed contact the Archivist. I do not believe that there is an Order of Battle (ORBAT) diagram available on any public venue. I also recommend that you purchase the Regimental History 1883-1983, the 1939-45 History or the Pictorial History (or all!!) from the kitshop. http://www.rcdkitshop.com/index.php?...emart&Itemid=1 The centennial history is a limited re-print at a good price and the originals are very difficult to find. This will give you the ability to read Chapter XVII and see where they were and when. There is a map but no ORBAT. Short of re-typing the whole chapter, I can look up any specific dates or locations you have an interest in from my (original) copy. regards Darrell (hosted very warmly by the people of Leeuwarden in 1989) Last edited by Darrell Zinck; 01-08-11 at 17:54.
