oldonemanband Posted 1 February , 2009 Share Posted 1 February , 2009 Can anyone tell me which Division was operating in the St Quentin area from mid-March to early April 1917? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 1 February , 2009 Share Posted 1 February , 2009 The 32nd Division was certainly there at that time; St Quentin itself was in German hands, and British positions were West of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdoc Posted 1 February , 2009 Share Posted 1 February , 2009 The 61st (South Midland) Division was there, too. My Grandfather's cousin, Thomas Butlin, of the 2/7th Warwickshires, was killed on 22nd March. Edit Sorry! A year out. Thomas Butlin was killed in 1918.

ulsterlad2 Posted 1 February , 2009 Share Posted 1 February , 2009 Hi Dave 1972. Don't know if this is any help. These are the Divisons involved in the Battle of St Quentin March 1818 http://www.1914-1918.net/bat22.htm Edit: 1918, 1918, 1918. Sorry Dave. I have no excuses m'Lud.

Chris_Baker Posted 1 February , 2009 Share Posted 1 February , 2009 But that is a year later! The Divisions in the area in 1917 are here: http://www.1914-1918.net/bat17.htm. It was IV Corps that was nearest to St Quentin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldonemanband Posted 1 February , 2009 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2009 Three possibles then - thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdoc Posted 1 February , 2009 Share Posted 1 February , 2009 Please ignore my post, Dave. I misread the year and was thinking 1918. I've edited rather than deleted my original post so that the thread is coherent but doesn't mislead future readers. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldonemanband Posted 1 February , 2009 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2009 Keith - not a problem. I'm now about 90% sure it's the 32nd Division that I'm interested in. I'll have to see what Kew can turn up for me (if it's not snowing on Tuesday). Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfman-45 Posted 20 November , 2012 Share Posted 20 November , 2012 Keith - not a problem. I'm now about 90% sure it's the 32nd Division that I'm interested in. I'll have to see what Kew can turn up for me (if it's not snowing on Tuesday). Dave Hi DaveDid you find anything out about the 32nd Division @ St Quentin as i am looking for the same thing as my Grandfather was in the ASC with the 32nd?
