Remembered Today:

Salonika Diary, Lt. Victor E.Borgognon,Suffolk Regiment.


206thCEF

Recommended Posts

Commissioned, 30th October 1917, into the Suffolk Regiment, Lt Borgonon previously served briefly on the Western Front in France as a private soldier of the Middlesex Regiment. We know he was a gas casualty on the front but this could not have been too serious as he was subsequently posted to Salonika, regarded at the time to be a suitable posting for soldiers returning to active serice after convalescence.

The diary is an almost day-to-day record of an ordinary junior officer's duties in the latter part of the First World War. It starts with the collection of a draft of 68 men at Felixstowe and follows their 3 week journey by train, sea and road across war torn Europe to Greece.

Good reading to all those interested in this subject.
