I have just finished transcribing the War Diary of the Town Magor of Poperinghe fromApril 1915 to January 31 1917 also the Monthly Crime sheets from July 4 1915 to March 3 1916. I can do lookups.

Hi John,

I'd be grateful if you could look up any notes on the 15th Welsh if you don't mind please. (Or 38th Welsh Division).

Best Wishes,

SteveJ.

There are only two mentions of 38th Division These are :-

11th August 1916:-O.C.38th Division Transport called and enquired if rubble can be supplied for shell holes in the horse lines.

12th August 1916:- C.R.E. 38th Division called and asked for bricks and rubble informed him that very little is available, discussed the whole question of allocating bricks.

There were no defaulters in the Monthly Crime sheets.
