WW2 Barracks in Keith
During research on a relative I have a letter dated 12 November 1941 written in Keith. I can find no record of a barracks there during WW2. Anyone know of one there?
The unit was 127 (Highland) Field Regt RA & I also can't find where they were prior to embarkation for Egypt in 1942 as part of 51 Division. I'm assuming it was somewhere in the Moray area.
Edit to say pre-war when part of 9 Scottish Infantry Division they were based with RHQ in Leven and Batteries in Arbroath & Dundee. My relative was with the Dundee Battery but the letter I have was written by the CO so I assume RHQ moved from Leven.Last edited by oldbaldy; 04-02-2012 at 11:38.
I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.

Old TA hall is prewar OB no doubt it was used by other units during the war. Will ask the PSI there for local knowledge.
Well, the prodigal brother. When did you get back? Ain't seen you since the surrender. Come to think of it, I didn't see you at the surrender.
I don't believe in surrenders. Nope, I've still got my saber, Reverend. Didn't beat it into no plowshare, neither
