Us Inf Div - Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop, 1942

[Gary Kennedy]

Just wondered whether anyone might have a copy of the actual T/O&E for this particular unit, and would consider a trade/barter for it (presuming I could reciprocate!)? The full title, ref number should be -

Mechanized Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop, as assigned to an Infantry Division, 1 April 1942, Table of Organization 2-67.

I've got a summary of personnel, weapons and vehicles, and by cross referencing against another source I can work the look of the unit, but if possible I'd like to get a copy of the actual T/O to remove the guesswork!

Thanks,

Gary

You could also check out the book "Steeds of Steel". Recently out in 2009 about the mech cavalry in the war.

If you ain't cav.....

Hello, Thread
If you want an autobiography of a real Cavalry Scout in World War II, get Fred Salter's Recon Scout, now out in paperback. His writing puts you right in his shoes, even to crap in his pants, as he guts Germans and confiscates Swiss watches. He has some pithy comments about Generals.
