4th Durham Survey Regiment RA

[Robin McEwen-King]

We are pleased to have a copy of the new edition of the book 'Z Location or Survey in War' by Col's WHETTON and OGDEN
Published recently by Jim WHETTON

It is a first hand story of this regiment from its inception in Gateshead in 1937 to 1947. Covers what was a survey regiment about; how did the do their job and details their service during WWII.

This is a private publication and I have Jim's permission to pass on his address to anyone interested in obtaining a copy.


Our interest is in Margaret's father Clarence E HIRD who joined the then TA Regiment in April 1939 and served troughout the war. He was BQMS and long time Secretary of teh OCA.


Pleased to have contact with any others interested in thsi regiment.

My father (William Burn) joined the 4th Durham Survey Regiment in Gateshead early in 1939. After service in the UK he went with the regiment to North Africa and in 1941 he was with the force that was sent to Greece. When Greece was overun he was captured in Corinth and spent the rest of the war ina POW camp in Austria.

I would be interested in any information about the 4th Durham Survey Regiment or anything specific about my father.
