The First Eastern was called up three days before war was declared and within a few weeks took up their first posting in Kimbolton Castle. The commanding officer was Col C H Budd.
In January 1940 they went to France as part of the British Expeditionary Force and were based at Camiers. After Dunkirk, they were based a various locations – Tidworth, Cornwall, Devon, Leeds and then in September 1942, Northern Ireland at Carrickfergus.
