GraemeClarke Posted 20 December , 2009 Share Posted 20 December , 2009 Doug, I have a note in a soldier's diary for 16 September 1918 "Poperinghe. Battalion moved back into reserve at Erie Farm, Brandhoek, near Poperinghe." On the 22nd they moved back to Zillebeke. (On the 11th they were at Zillebeke Lake sending out patrols.) Nothing else in the diary, sorry. NB. You appear to have 2 dates : 10th in the heading and 17th in the narrative. I'm presuming its the 17th you want.

dougscarratt@tiscali.co.uk Posted 20 December , 2009 Author Share Posted 20 December , 2009 Hi Graeme Thanks for the reply,my mistake it is the 10th i'm looking for. Regards Doug ( Will edit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeClarke Posted 20 December , 2009 Share Posted 20 December , 2009 Doug, In that case from the 6th to the 11th they were at Templeux-la-Fosse. For the 10th the diary (not War !!) records, Further patrols were sent out with the same object in view but again without result. Heavy machine gun fire was directed at one patrol from the spoil bank east of Vermezeele. The day before, the 9th, patrols of 1 officer and 20 ORs went out attempting to identify the German units.
