I was at the Lancashire regiments museum again on Saturday morning to photograph the rest of the 9th East Lancs war diary. I was taken aback when, instead of the typed copy I had been working from, I was given the original. They couldn't find the typed copy, it wasn't on the shelf where it should have been, the moral here is ring first to make sure they have what you want available. However seeing the original was a delight, it had some beautiful hand drawn trench maps and brought me just a little bit closer to the men who wrote it. I also had a look at the East Lancs Regimental History, a large bound volume the size of a Bible. It has a section devoted to the Salonika Campaign, the 9th Battalion were the only one from the East Lancs in this theatre and so I set about photographing the relevant pages for further research at home.
