Hi J-F,

I know Banneville-La-Campagne cemetery quite well as you'll also find there the graves of all the 1st Lothians & Border Yeomanry fallen in Normandy, so will seize the opportunity next time to go on Trooper Joseph Ryan's grave.

I fully agree with you on Bouchery's book, there are some mistakes (colours of the Coloured FS caps, Lothians cap badge backing which was not worn, 23rd Hussars cap badge missing backing, etc...) and it is certainly not THE reference but as far as the infantry Regts. converted to RAC ones were concerned, it was the only source I had to refer to when I read your lines.
Moreover, the list he gives is the one of the already converted regiments by 1944 & D-Day and as far as Normandy & NW Europe is concerned.

Maybe should we foresee a Frog Meeting by the end of April in Normandy?
Cheers
Phil
