Desmond7 Posted 12 March , 2004 Share Posted 12 March , 2004 New book, hardback, by a James Taylor. Saw it in Easons tonight. Didn't get chance to check price or blurb. Anybody know anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markinbelfast Posted 12 March , 2004 Share Posted 12 March , 2004 Must have had her for about a year now...excellant..loads of info on officers...a good bit less on the men...very handy for checking what happened on the actual dates men died...I've a medal to KIA and the book tells exactly how the individual died (via shell) while standing guard outside on officers bunker. A bit expensive but mine was signed by the author. Would lend you it desmond but the postage would be a bit heavy...unless you come down to the big smoke!

Desmond7 Posted 5 May , 2004 Author Share Posted 5 May , 2004 Pasted from Ralph ... Hello Everyone: I am looking for any information, war diary records; any personal accounts from the 1st Royal Irish Rifles 25th Brigade, 8th Division for a German trench raid that took place on the evening of 11 April 1916 near La Boisselle. From the reports I have it seems that ‘A’ Coy suffered losses in the artillery fire that preceded the attack while ‘D’ Coy suffered the most losses as the attack took place just when two platoons were being relieved at the front line. I have an account from the German side and I want to see how the two accounts match up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would be glad to share the German account from RIR 110 to anyone who can help out, thanks. Ralph Pasted by Des - any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Taylor Posted 5 May , 2004 Share Posted 5 May , 2004 Des, I gave all my info to Ralph about a year ago. Regards, Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
