13th Corps 1917-19

[AndyL]

Hi,

Does anyone know the the NA catalogue number for the 13th Corps war diaries. I'm trying to research the corps signal troops, specifically the cable section which I believe my grandfather was attached to between July 1917 and November 1919, (H Cable section).

Many thanks,

Andy

That is pretty impressive and definitive. Do you know how I could trace his movements during 1914, H Cable section was then attached to GHQ Troops BEF from August to November, they then transferred to 3rd Cavalry division for which I've got the NA catalogue reference.

Many thanks for your help so far
