Chunkeroo Posted 26 August , 2010 Share Posted 26 August , 2010 Has anyone got the diaries for the 1/6th Royal Warwicks for April 1917? I would really appreciate it if you could let me know what the battalion was doing on 16th April and the days leading up to it. Many thanks, Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunkeroo Posted 27 August , 2010 Author Share Posted 27 August , 2010 Thanks for this Alan I really appreciate it. My focus of interest is L/Cpl Garnet Morris who went missing in action on 16th April 1917. He is one of the men from my village I am researching and writing about.
