This Website is
the home of the 2nd Battalion, Kings Royal Rifle
Corps.We are a group of players for the upcoming WWII Online. For more information on the game,
visit their homepage.
Keep an eye on
the news page for latest news and developments.
This is the
first website devoted to an General British (not
specifically Welsh or Scottish) Infantry unit for WWII Online.
We are a
motorised Green Jacket unit; that is to say that we
specialise in rapid movement following in the tanks
and stealthy operations often in dense terrain
The King's
Royal Rifle Corps took part in the battle for Calais,
undoubtedly the most successful land operation before
the British withdrawal from France. Despite being
outnumbered, outgunned and with only a few outdated
light tanks and two old French field guns, these
three Batallions plus a handful of French troops managed to resist and
repel attack after attack on Calais. The three days
that the British held up the German forces at Calais
was an important factor in the evacuation of Dunkirk.
Once the game
starts, this website will become a centre for planned
missions (with password access!) and detailing our
heroic exploits. I refuse to add a forum, not that I
couldn't, becuase there are just far too many WWIIOL
forums out there already and I have given up on
checking them all on a regular basis.
All spellings
on this website are ENGLISH, not American.
Highly
polished perfection with knobs on, or rubbish not
worthy of the space it should be taking up in the
local landfill stie? Post your opinions and requests
below in my guestbook. The more feedback I get, the
better the site will be.
