bogarcher Posted 29 September , 2009 Share Posted 29 September , 2009 I'm looking for some information on the 1st/5th Bn KOYLI for the 3rd of July 1916. Does anyone have access to a copy of the Bn war diary. I need to know where they were and if they took part in an attack on that day. Cheers Mick Link to post Share on other sites
