14th DLI, 2 Dragoon Guards & Tank B Battalion

[tstewa]

Gday

I have been researching the Battle of Cambrai, especially the movements on the 21st of November 1917.

Im interested in finding out if any one knows what the following Battalions were involved in on the 21st.

I know each one was involved in the attack on Cantaing and would like to see if anyone has any detailed info etc or could point me in the right direction.

The Battalions were:

14th Durham Light Infantry, 18th brigade

2nd Dragoon Guards, The Queens Bays

B Tank Battalion.

Thanks for any help

Not sure where you might find any Tank Unit Diaries?

They all come under GHQ Troops at the beginning of class WO95. B Battalion later became 2 Battalion and its diary is here:

WO 95/113 5 Brigade Tank Corps: 2 Battalion Tank Corps 1917 May - 1919 Mar.
