Thanks David, My great-Grandfather was transferred into them ?..I think possibly 1918. Before that he was in the Northen Cyclist Bn. Did you know the 2/6 DLI was involved in defeating the Irish Rebellion 1916? Please correct if i'm wrong. I have saved a copy if thats OK. If not sorry and i'll delete it from my records. thanks again, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, I see that Graham Stewart picked up your earlier thread about the Northern Cyclist Battalion [DLI or NF] & there's nothing more I can add to that. As far as I've been able to determine, 2/6 DLI didn't maintain a war diary, so 'No' I wasn't aware of it's role in events in Ireland in 1916. Do you have any source material that can be shared or is it something simply picked up from family history / stories or a letter or two from your Great Grandfather? If there's something shareable I'm sure I won't be alone in finding it really interesting. As for my piece on 2/6 DLI, by all means retain a copy. I'm pleased it's of some help. David T.

David T I am unsure about the service of the 2/6 DLI in Ireland 1916, although i have seen a photograph with a description such as ' 2/6 DLI in the Luton Area prior to, or upon its return from going to Ireland to assist in surpressing the Irish rebellion'. I will check my sources. Why it stays in mind is that i thought my great-grandad was in the 2/6 DLI at that time, and thought it an interesting point. I will always stand corrected but allow me some time to check. I cannot recall which history it is in at present. regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB1 Posted 9 May , 2014 Share Posted 9 May , 2014 I can't help with copies of war diary pages but hopefully you'll find the attachment of some interest & help. David I note that the last post on this was in 2007 but I am new on here and have just downloaded your attachment. My Granddad was with the 2/6th DLI and reading your extract has made things a lot clearer for me about his time with them. Thanks for making the document available.
