Tim Godden Posted 27 August , 2008 Share Posted 27 August , 2008 Dear members, I have a complete copy of the 13RS war diary and would be happy to check out any dates. Though, I would stress, there will be very little information regarding individual Other Rank soldiers. Look forward to helping. Regards, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimSmithson Posted 29 August , 2008 Share Posted 29 August , 2008 Hi Tim A scan or similar of the entries for April 1917 would be great. Or, if that's not possible just something from the 9th April. Part of my work on the 1st Scarpe battle and a missing piece at the moment. Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dycer Posted 29 August , 2008 Share Posted 29 August , 2008 Jim, Wrong Battalion but do you need the 9th April entry for the 8th Royal Scots,Pioneers to the 51st(Highland) Division as well? George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Godden Posted 30 August , 2008 Author Share Posted 30 August , 2008 Jim, I am just heading away for the weekend but will sort it out for you upon my return. Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimSmithson Posted 31 August , 2008 Share Posted 31 August , 2008 Don't know what you mean by wrong battalion George. 13th (Service) Battalion Royal Scots were part of 45 Brigade, 15th Division attacking 9th April 1917 from lines in Blangy just south of the Scarpe. They are what I want. All help is very welcome though and your entries for the same period will also be superb - thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
