Are you seeking information regarding individuals who identify themselves as being Scottish regardless of where they live now, or people who currently have a Scottish address regardless of their background or country of origin? Please note that for the MOD Joint Personnel Administration, some of the nationality options an individual can record themselves as include ‘British’, ‘Scottish’ or ‘British Scottish’. I was mainly looking for those having joined the Army from a Scottish address as I’m looking at how many people located in Scotland join the Army. Further clarification is required concerning the second part of your request - please clarify if you want Corps and Infantry Regiment (In essence Cap badge) or Corps and Infantry totals. Please note that a proportion of those who joined the untrained strength in 2016 may still be in training. Yes please, looking for Cap Badge of entrants from Scotland should this information exist. Finally please confirm that you require the information for both parts of your request by Financial Years 2014, 2015 & 2016. Yes please, If the information exists for each year then I would be grateful for this. If this is significantly time consuming then 2016 would be sufficient.’ I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

The two armoured brigades raised to become part of this new division were the 4th and 5th Indian Armoured Brigades. This brigade was raised at the cavalry depot at Risalpur in India with effect from 1 April 1941 as the 4th Indian Armoured Brigade under the command of Brigadier (Acting) William Thomas GILL, M.C.*.

    Record Details for Richard George Brooke Barrow (Royal Armoured Corps) Page 1 of 3 Record Details for Richard George Brooke Barrow (Royal Armoured Corps) Back First Name: Richard George Brooke Initials: R G B Surname: Barrow DOB: Circa 1923 Age: 22 Birth Town: West London Nationality: British Resided County: Sussex. Date of Death: 24/01/1945 Information: Parents: Rear-Admiral Benjamin Wingate Barrow and Charlotte Constance Barrow, of Claremont, Cape Province, South Africa. Rank: Lieutenant Service Number: 245686 Campaign Medals: War Medal 1939-1945 As with most Armed Forces Serving Personnel during the conflict of World War Two, Richard George Brooke Barrow was entitled to the War Medal 1939-1945. This medal was awarded to all full time service personnel who had completed 28 days service between 3rd September 1939 and the 2nd September 1945. Eligible personnel who had been “Mentioned In Despatches” during the War were entitled to wear a bronze oak leaf emblem on the ribbon. Those eligible for a campaign star, yet who had their service cut short by death, wounds or capture by the enemy, still qualified for this medal. 1939-45 Star Given the information available to us it is likely that Richard George Brooke Barrow was awarded the 1939-45 Star for operational Service in the Second World War between 3rd September 1939, and 2nd September 1945. Richard George Brooke Barrow would have been awarded this star if their service period was terminated by their death or disability due to service. Also the award of a gallantry medal or “Mention In Despatches” also produced the award of this medal, regardless of their service duration.
