Kings Royal Rifle Corps Chronicle

[rap1943]

Hello Everybody

I have a copy of these War Records from Sept 1914 - 1919. I know that this is not strictly a War Diary but this appeared to be the best forum to place it.

Cheers

I have now scanned the Chronicle so if anyone is interested just let me know.

Bob,

My grandfather was in the 2/KRRC and I would be interested in seeing the chronicles.

Hello, I have only just come across this post and had a Great Uncle recalled to 2/ KRRC and was killed in 1914 and a Grandad who was a pre-war regular in 4 / KRRC and survived the war --- would you still have the ability to send me a copy of the Chronicles please?

Thanks

 

Patrick

The opening poster Rap1943 (Bob Pearson) has not visited the forum since 2014 

so he is unlikely to see your request / reply  unless he has notifications switched on and is still using the same email address 

 

 and  welcome to the forum

 

regards Ray

Are you in the U.K. or in the U.S./Canada? If the latter some of the early Chronicles are online, here:

This one (and only) from 1904 at Internet Archive will give you an idea of what types of information the Chronicles provide:

Thank you very much for the link - really gives you a flavour of what the Chronicles are all about.

 

Thanks

The pay website Findmypast has editions 1901 to 1920 with gaps for 1915 and 1919

https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/kings-royal-rifle-corps-chronicle-1900-1920

 

This database is searchable, (by name or keyword) with the search result showing a page of the Chronicle (and if required adjoining pages). It is possible browse the various editions, although it is a slow process. From the findmypast page, "Browse Title" and select a year, then click on Search (leaving all details blank). This will bring up a long list of all pages for that year. Once you have selected a page, you can scroll to the previous, or next page, using buttons located near the top of the findmypast page. If you need to increase the size of the pages in order to read them you may need to download (button near the top of the findmypast page) but this must be done page by page.

Thank you Maureene, not being a techie person, any help on getting the best from archives is greatly received and appreciated.
