Does anyone know anything about this unit? From what i have found it says they were with 133 Brigade and sent to Iraq and Persia in 1943. The problem i have is that the guy i'm researching was killed in 1942 and is buried in El Alamein War Cemetery. Any information about this unit would be of use including what they actually did.
Thanks all
