I am trying to find out which unit of the Princess of Wales own Yorkshire Regiment would have been most likely to have been in the Albert area in September 1918

Colin,

Do you literally mean the Albert area?

At this time the B.E.F. was advancing across the Somme battlefields. The Corps involved rotated many divisions as they went. It may be difficult to pin point the exact battalion.

Can you assist with any other information?

regards

The 9th Battalion were in billets in Albert on the 27th and 28th September, then on 29th & 30th moved to hutments and dugouts in Favière Wood near Maricourt
