Guest jeremyc Posted 1 May , 2004 Share Posted 1 May , 2004 Pricate Cyril Alan Putman served with the London Regiment (London Scottish ) C Company 2/14th Battalion. I know he went to France and Palestine, and was injured in April 1918. Would you know how I could get records relating in detail to him and also to his units exploits during the war. Are war diaries useful? And are the recors that one can get at the public records office worth reading? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 1 May , 2004 Share Posted 1 May , 2004 Start off by reading Granddads war on the mother site and the section on the London Scottish - 14 th Londons. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinWills Posted 1 May , 2004 Share Posted 1 May , 2004 If you hadn't realised the "mother site" is "The Long Long Trail" linked at the top left hand corner of this page. It's a vast (and growing) resource on the British Army in WW1 and a good stating place for any research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta Posted 2 May , 2004 Share Posted 2 May , 2004 The "original" history of the Regiment is published by the Naval and Military Press - who have a website "www.naval-military-press.com". This book was edited by Lt Col J H Lindsay and was produced in 1926. Mark Lloyd has written a book with the same name "The London Scottish in the Great War", which includes extracts from various diaries and letters by those who served. His work is published by "Pen and Sword." A Regimental Museum exists who are also very helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Felstead Posted 17 May , 2006 Share Posted 17 May , 2006 http://www.londonscottishregt.org The London Scottish is still part of the Army providing 'A' Company of the London Regiment. This website contains a form that may be sent to them to serach for info on past members. There is an excellent Museum at the HQ in Horseferry Road and a large number of photographs has been collected. Do you have any of Putnam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta Posted 17 May , 2006 Share Posted 17 May , 2006 I used "snail mail" to contact the Museum about 5 years ago and the Archivist could not have been more helpful. I have a phot of Sid Wilson; do you think they would be interested? Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
