Default 1943/1944 Army List

If anyone has the Army List for 1943 or 1944 could they please look up a Colonel WH Hynes for me? I would particularly like to know his parent regiment.
He was Comd Falkland Islands Force 1942-44.
Thanks
Mike

Overtaken by Google - he was late Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
