Jack Sheldon Posted 6 September , 2005 Share Posted 6 September , 2005 Yves Can you let me know exactly what you want? I can put my hands on at least three books which cover the period you are interested in, including the history of Grenadier Guard Regiment 3, which is very good. Can you read German if you receive scanned pages of the relevant period? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
