Polish 10th Mounted Rifles

Does anyone know if the war diary for this unit is available from the National Archives at Kew, and if so, what its reference number is?

Thanks in advance...

I don't think that any of the Polish Armoured Division's diaries are at Kew unfortunately. As far as I know, they are held at the Sikorski Institute in London and are in Polish. I would be extremely interested though if you managed to find them anywhere else, especially in English. There are a couple of Divisional Operational Reports out there on the internet.

Regards

Tom

Thanks Tom - I'll keep an eye open.

I live in a town full of Poles, so if I can get a copy of the originals, I'm sure I can find an interpreter.
