NORTH WEST EUROPE 1944-45

Within three days of the amalgamation, the 3rd/4th CLY were in action again for the breakout from Normandy and the race through Belgium into Holland.

There then followed long hard winter on the Maas and in the Reichswald.  

In March 1945 came the crossing of the Rhine and the final gallop across the North German plain ending with the entry into Hamburg in April 1945.

The Regiment remained in Germany for another 18 months before returning to the UK for a brief spell in suspended animation before being re-formed.
