The Museum is currently updating its Book of Remembrance honouring the Regiment's World War Two Casualties. We are requesting assistance from anyone who would be able to provide us with information or photographs pertaining to soldiers listed below. 

Our Book of Remembrance features photographs of the soldier and his headstone, as well as the applicable Commonwealth war grave. 

Any assistance provided to the 8th Hussars Museum in Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada, would be greatly appreciated.
