That is a very nice connection for you if this in fact them. I cannot seem to find any of the detailed unit histories that are avalable in pdf form as for for the US units, complete with photos and rosters in many cases.
Is there a similar cache of data available for british WW2 units containing accounts of battle movements, maps, photos and narrative? I did find this book available:
History Of The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers In The Second World War: History Of The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers In The Second World War
Can anyone confirm if it is worth spending $36.00 for with regards to detail, maps, narrative etc?
