Handing Over Contributions
Dear Mr Sharman,
I write to thank you for the additional material relating to the 2nd Battalion
Royal Berkshire Regiment in Burma during the 2nd World War, that you have
kindly donated to the Rifles Berkshire and Wiltshire Museum.
Along with the items previously donated, we believe that the museum now
has probably the most comprehensive battalion sized references in the
country in relation to operations in Burma by a county regiment during
WW2, in particular when linked to Colonel John
Hill MC's collection.
The items donated will be processed into the collection and double checked
against items already held to see how they link together. In due course
it will appear on our web site for everyone to see.
We are particularly pleased to have sight of your considerable database
that will assist the archivists greatly and will be a research resource
for future generations in the years to come.
Thank you for gathering so much unique material and for gifting it to
the Museum.
Yours Sincerely,
A J Field
Trust Manager
