Greenwoodman Posted 13 February , 2003 Share Posted 13 February , 2003 I think there is a history of the 15th Battalion called "Blast of War" - it was a Bantam Battalion. I think Ray Westalke (bookseller) still has copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Hesketh Posted 16 February , 2003 Share Posted 16 February , 2003 Jeff, I've got Blast of War, bits of diaries and quite a lot of info for the battalion during the Battle of the Somme, especially their Trones Wood tribulations. Place another post with more details of what you have and what you want and I'll see what I can do. All the best, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
