Laycock's Papers

A link to Maj Gen R E Laycock's papers as held in Kings College, London

http://www.kcl.ac.uk/lhcma/cats/laycock/la95-0.shtml

These papers are available to researchers and, I imagine, would make very interesting reading

Great site Nick, another one that will be added to our links. Even just the summaries of what they hold are interesting reading.

Others available;

Maj Gen JC Haydon - Commander 1 SS Bde then Vice Chief Combined Ops staff

Sir Roger Keyes, Director of Combined Ops '40-'41

http://www.kcl.ac.uk/lhcma/archives_working/parsefile.php?file=/lhcma/locreg/KEYES.shtml&query=commando

I am interested in reading several of the reports which relate to Operations TORCH and BIZERTE (mostly contained within the LAYCOCK 5/27 series).

I am located in the United States and (most-likely) will not be able to travel to King's College - London anytime soon. Can you provide me with guidance in how I can make a request to the personnel at King's College (via e-mail or postal service) for paper or electronic copies of several of these documents?

Thanks,

Craig Johnson
