Jonathan_NW Posted 22 August , 2008 Share Posted 22 August , 2008 Hello everyone. Could anybody tell me if it possible to access the war diaries of the 1st Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers online? I have looked on the National Archives and there only 4 or 5 available covering the Gallipoli period only. I'm looking for later in the war when the Batallion returned to the Western Front. Thanks Jonathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainvince Posted 22 August , 2008 Share Posted 22 August , 2008 If you can't get the War diaries there are certainly the 'Calendar of Moves' which give a very good summary. What dates are you after? BernardP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hartley Posted 23 August , 2008 Share Posted 23 August , 2008 Could anybody tell me if it possible to access the war diaries of the 1st Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers online? No - other than the ones you mention. The Regimental History is quite comprehensive is a good "second best". I don't think it's available as a modern reprint and an original is very expensive. I'd think about accessig via you local library - if you're not in the North West, then you'll probably need them to arrnage an inter-library loan.
