Hello again! Sorry if I seemed to go quiet for a while after our email correspondence. Got busy for a while on University work and life in general. How goes your Scotland and Cornwall Projects?

Thanks will definitely give that a go, It seems that the units were assigned in BOAR were given the name and number of the division they were assigned to (I.e 1ST Armoured Division Transport regiment.)

I have a book called "Encyclopaedia of the Territorial Army" a very useful book that helps to track down some of the more Elusive TA units. No numbers or unit names for the intelligence corps or catering corps though.

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-...ial+Army&cd=10

It lists the TA RMP as 5 Independent companies which are -

116 Company at West Bromwich, Coventry, Old Trafford and Cardiff
243 Company in Edinburgh, Glenthroes and Stranraer
252 Company in Stockton on Tees, Hull and Gateshead
253 Company in South London Brighton and Southampton
254 Company in Northern Ireland

163 and 164 provost companies with an SIB detachment at TA HQ in Chichester. No details if they are UKLF or BOAR Assigned.

I managed to have a complete ORBAT for the entire British army circa 1989 thanks to Tank-net. But it does not go as far as combat service support. Looks like a trek to some Obscure military library is in order. Why is information on the Regular units assigned UKLF so elusive?!

Hope this helps
