List of Diaries available for purchase from KEW

[4thGordons]

Just ran accross this, I hadn't seen these all listed before:

List available on this page HERE (scroll page down slightly for list)As I understand it these are the diaries ALREADY digitised and that can be downloaded (for a fee) immediately.

Thought this might be of use to others.

Many thanks for this. Very useful info.

Always worth knowing these things, thanks Chris. I just wish they'd do the artillery as well,

Yep. This has been an ongoing NA project for a while. Costs are £3.50 per download (for which you normally get a month's war diary). Well worth doing if you can't easily get to Kew (or want to save time whilst you're there).

Members visitng Kew shouls also note that , when a diary is digitally available, the original is normally withdrawn from public access.

Does anybody know how accurate this list is? Only I've been searching for the 23rd Middlesex War Diary for the months of Oct/Nov 1916 and they are not in WO95/ 2638 with the other btns of 123rd Brigade. Instead the 2/4th Queen's are listed and as far as I'm aware they never were part of the 123rd Brigade or the 41st Division.

Any feedback would be much appreciated

regards Stuart.
