Last year I visited the museum at Fulwood Barracks, home of the East Lancs Regiment until its disbandment. To my delight I discovered that they have the war diary of the 9^th Battalion in which my Grandad served. I had my wife and 12-year-old son with me at the time and so was not able to study the diary in any detail, so I plan another trip to find out more. I am particularly interested in where they were when my Grandad joined them in late 1916 to May the following year when he was transferred. I know from the Long Long Trail that the Battalion was in Salonika, but hopefully the diary will give me more details.
