Does anyone have a good book or internet source on the 11th Poona Horse Regiment in WWII?

A close friend has just lost his grandfather (who served in this regiment in WWII) and would like to better understand his history.

Any help is appreciated.

The Poona Horse were the 17th rather than the 11th, I believe. Regimental history here; only a dozen pages on WW2, but it's a start:

For what its worth I met a Poona Horse veteran about 20 years ago, he was a Major back in the day. Lovely bloke, still firing on all cylinders. Struggling on a pretty measly pension though, we thought. Living in a bedsit in Streatham of all places.

Dom,

This is really great. Thanks. Will confirm it was the 17th.
