old sparky Posted 26 October , 2013 Share Posted 26 October , 2013 (edited) I downloaded 9 Devons War Diary from National Archives and got 2 Gordons as well! Does this happen often? Regards Peter B Edited 28 October , 2013 by Alan Curragh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John(txic) Posted 27 October , 2013 Share Posted 27 October , 2013 It does - if you're really lucky you can get three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 27 October , 2013 Share Posted 27 October , 2013 What you get is a Brigade's worth usually, so 20th Brigade 7th Division. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 27 October , 2013 Share Posted 27 October , 2013 I think you get whatever is in the original cardboard box. As Mike says, that's usually whatever made up the brigade (although I think brigade HQ and non-infantry units are usually in another box). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony paley Posted 28 October , 2013 Share Posted 28 October , 2013 I am always pleasantly surprised when downloading a war diary for a specific battalion to find it generally includes other units within that battalion's brigade. The best example to date is WO95/1730. My particular interest was the 2nd Lincs. However a unit in 25 Infy. Bgde. 7th Div. was 13th London, the Kensingtons. That TF. unit included the complete muster roll for the Battalion at the time it was embodied, and also notes completed by an officer of the battalion to be used as a regimental history after the war. The war diaries even included the period that the Kensingtons had left 7th div. and returned to one of the London divisions. Tony P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Light Posted 29 October , 2013 Share Posted 29 October , 2013 Please remember that War Diary images are copyright - and to offer them to other members is against forum rules If that's the case there are a great many threads that need to be removed, including the Master List of War Diaries that has been so prominently featured on the forum where members have been invited over a long period of time to let others know what diaries they have so that they can be shared.

eairicbloodaxe Posted 29 October , 2013 Share Posted 29 October , 2013 I think Alan may mean images downloaded from the NA or Ancestry are copyright to those organisations, rather than images photographed by pals from the diaries themselves?

Sue Light Posted 29 October , 2013 Share Posted 29 October , 2013 Ian Images are always subject to copyright of TNA whether or not you've taken them yourself. For instance, if I submit a database to FindMyPast to go online, any images accompanying that database that I've taken of documents remain TNA 'property', and the company putting them online has to pay royalties to TNA. Even if documents have not been digitised, you still can't take your own photos and then use them in print or on the web without permission, other than in transcription.
