John(txic) Posted 7 March , 2009 Share Posted 7 March , 2009 He's found his relative's records on Ancestry, but would like to know a little more of what the 2/9th DLI were up to. A pre-war soldier, he enlisted 9th October 1914 and served through until 20th February '19. Was their only active service in Salonika? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMG65 Posted 7 March , 2009 Share Posted 7 March , 2009 That would take a lot of time to answer. Basically they were a second line unit, went to Salonika in November 1916 and stayed there for the war. The WFA Cleveland Branch website has a month by month article called 'Following The Durhams' and 2/9th have had a brief mention there. If you can be more particular about what you are looking for I may be able to help. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
