docchippy Posted 18 April , 2004 Share Posted 18 April , 2004 A query I am sure some erudite member will be able to help me with. I am aware infantry rgts kept war diaries for each batt etc. However how did the RFA record events? I am especially interested in the Divisional Ammunition Columns. 30th division to be precise. Any help? Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 21 April , 2004 Share Posted 21 April , 2004 Neil, Yes they did. Try a search on-line at the PROs website. The series you want is WO 95. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 21 April , 2004 Share Posted 21 April , 2004 Neil, The file you want is WO 95/2321 which covers Sept 1915 - Dec 1918. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docchippy Posted 23 April , 2004 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2004 Fantastic help. All I need now is a week's paid leave and time in PRO/ National Archives or what ever it currently calls self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docchippy Posted 23 April , 2004 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2004 Ian a query how I might go about getting info from these diaries. Can researchers be engaged or staff at pro to photocopy diaries? Am interested at the moment in the actions of 30th Div ammunition column RFA 21 march 1918- 1 april 1918. would these be lots of pages to photocopy or a swift exercise for a paid researcher?
