Cpl. Ernest Reginald John Kyte

British Army 43rd Recce Regiment

from:Newton Abbott

(d.24th Jun 1944)

My Grandfather Jack Kyte died when the MTS MV Derrycunihy exploded with huge loss of life. My father and brother visited the British Cemetery at Bayeux several times and found his name on the memorial. We haven't much info about his army career (as my father was only 10 at the time and can't remember so much about him). We are aware of some of the events leading up to the tragedy but little afterwards or whether any items were ever retrieved in the years that followed. I have tried unsuccessfully for many years now to find a copy of the book "Record of a Reconnaissance Regiment, a history of the 43rd Recon Reg (the Gloucester Regiment) 1939-45" but a copy remains elusive. If anyone knows where I could get a copy, my father would appreciate it.
