Staffsyeoman Posted 19 June , 2003 Share Posted 19 June , 2003 Ian; 200 Bn served with 59 Div from Oct 19. The genealogy is difficult as for a fleeting moment in Aug 19 there were 2 '200 Bns'. Captain BF Whiteley DCM was 'B' Coy cdr in 200 Bn in F&F and went to Russia (Murmansk) in Mar 19 with a composite force from 200 Bn and elements 201 Bn.
