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...

Re: Polish 10th Mounted Rifles
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.

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.
