Hello, everyone!

I'm looking for strength list of Infantry of the Line battalions as of 30.9.1940 according to "General Return of the Strength of the British Army as of 30 September 1940".

Many thanks in advance

Well, the document number is as you know PRO WO 173/46, so you could order it directly from the National Archives, but that is rather pricey. However there are several commercial copying services which will photograph the relevant pages at a reasonable fee.
Just indicate which parts interest you. I assume that after the Foot Guards and the infantry you will also want the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Royal Armoured Corps, and others, which will come to quite a few pages.
