Royal Berkshire Regiment
The 1st Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment was a regular Army unit. They saw action with the BEF in France with 2nd Division. They were sent to India and fought in Burma until the Japanese surrender in 1945.
The 2nd Battalion Berkshire Regiment fought in Burma with the 19th Indian Infantry Division from 1941 until 1945.A memorial plaque donated after the war was erected in honour of the 2nd Battalion and stands at the entrance to a pagoda near the top of Mandalay Hill. It reads: Erected to commemorate the fierce fighting in the clearance and final capture of Mandalay Hill by the 2nd Btn, Royal Berkshire Regiment, March 10th to 12th 1945.
The 4th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment went to France with the BEF early in the war serving with the 8th Infantry Brigade, 3rd Division. In late May 1940, German troops under Rommel overwhelmed the battalion, along with Belgian Army units, defending the Albert Canal in Belgium. Many soldiers of the 4th were captured and made prisoners of war.
The 5th (Hackney) Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment (formerly the 10th London Regiment Hackney), became the 5th Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment in 1937. Between 1939 and 1942, the 5th Battalion was stationed in London, Suffolk, Northumberland & Durham, Oxfordshire & Berkshire then Suffolk. In 1943-44 East Anglia, Scotland, Hampshire, Scotland and Back to Hampshire.It was not until June 1944 that the 5th Battalion went to Europe. The 5th Battalion landed with the Canadians at Juno Beach, Normandy and remained there as part of a beach group with core responsibility for the landing ground.
After the Battalion completed their task on the beach they were broken up with many of the men being posted to other infantry battalions who required battle-casualty replacements. Many went to the 4th & 5th Battalions of the Wiltshire Regiment, and some were later recalled when the 5th Battalion was reformed to carry out a similar task during the crossing of the river Rhine.
The 6th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment was a territorial battalion stationed in Northern Ireland, England, The Orkneys, Sussex and Kent during the years 1943-47.
In 1939, the 5th (Hackney) Battalion and the 7th (Stoke Newington) Battalion The Royal Berkshire Regiment were part of the 161st Infantry Brigade, headquartered in Brentwood. This was part of the 54th (East Anglia) Infantry Division of British Eastern Command.
The 8th (Home Defence) Battalion the Royal Berkshire Regiment was formed from No 84 Group in November 1939 they served in the Defence of Britain throughout the war. In September 1940 the six Young Soldiers Companies became 70th (Young Soldiers) Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment. In December 1941 the battalion was renamed 30th Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment, dropping the 'Home Defence' designation.
The 9th Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment served in England only. It was formed in July 1940 and disbanded in December 1943.
The 10th Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment served in North Africa, The Middle East, Sicily and Italy with the 168th London Infantry Brigade. The 10th Battalion was reduced to 40 men defending the Anzio beachhead. In the battle around Carroceto and Aprilia, early February 1944, the 10th Royal Berkshires had been one of a group that included the 1st Battalion Recce Regiment, the 1st London Irish, the 6th Gordons and the 1st Loyals in direct combat with the German Combat Group Graser.

The Rock of Anzio: From Sicily to DachauFlint Whitlock
Anzio was one of the greatest battles of World War II-a desperate gamble to land a large amphibious force behind German lines in Italy in the hope that the war could be shortened by capturing Rome. It also turned out to be one of the bloodiest battles in U.S. military history. Based on extensive research into archives, photos, letters, diaries, previously classified official records, and scores of personal interviews with surviving veterans of the 45th, The Rock of Anzio is written with an immediacy that puts the reader right onto the battlefield and shows us war through the eyes of ordinary men called upon to perform extraordinary deeds.More information on:The Rock of Anzio: From Sicily to Dachau

The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items.
The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.
If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
