RQMS. Jack Edward Dyer
British Army North Staffordshire Regiment
from:Burma
I am Jack Dyer's daughter and am now writing my father's story: The trek out of Burma through the jungle. Daddy joined North Staffordshire Regiment in Calcutta 1942 and was sent straight to Bombay with rank of Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant and transferred to Royal Engineers. I am trying to have some acknowledgement from the North Staffordshire Regiment on his joining or something of his joining. I have been told previously that all records at Calcutta were destroyed due to the impending invasion of the Japanese into India. Could anyone direct me to someone who would at least have records of Calcutta or Bombay for 1942.
