2/4th OBLI

[basiloxford]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping that someone on the forum has access to the 2/4th OBLI War Diary, and can tell me what it contains for the 21st of March 1918.

I'm especially looking for details of casualties on the day, and would like to know how many men were recorded as missing. I have the record of the 2/4th as written by G.K Rose, but this just seems to record the German advance on the 21st as a continuing battle, and gives very little detail on a daily basis.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Barry.

I suggest you contact the OBLI archivists through; www.sofo.org.uk

Belatedly I've noticed that you live in Oxford. The OBLI archives are in Woodstock so your enquiry should be easy to follow up. Hope you find what you are looking for.
