Re: 4th Batt Buffs survivors on HMS Eclipse

The book by G.G. Connell "Fighting destroyer: the story of HMS Petard" has some general information. It appears that H.Q. and "A" company of the 4th Buffs was embarked in HMS Eclipse, of whom 44 were rescued. The survivors included Colonel Iggulden (colonel commanding the 4th Batallion) and one of his majors. If its any help to you, drop me a mail and I'll scan the relevant pages for you.

The forum at www.orbat.com may be of use to you as well. I suspect Leo and friends have a good view of what is available in the way of unit histories.
